Efficient implementation of greyscale morphological filters
Donald G. Bailey · 2010
Morphological filters are often implemented using a series decomposition. This paper presents a parallel decomposition that is able to exploit separability. By maximising the reuse of hardware between the parallel filters, a novel computationally efficient filter structure may be derived. Results show that such filters may be implemented on a Virtex-5 FPGA with pixel clock rates approaching 1 GHz.
