A fast digital TV picture processor
J G Gross, K H Rackette · Journal of Physics E Scientific Instruments · 1978
A general-purpose programmable hardware system is described which allows the programming of a variety of localised operations commonly used in picture processing and enhancement. A closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera connected to a column video digitiser is used as an input unit, and due to the special structure and instruction set of the system the processing of a picture (512*512 elements) can be achieved in about 20 s.
