Reconfigurable image registration on FPGA platforms

Image registration is computationally intensive, and hence difficult to implement in real-time. In recent efforts, image registration algorithms have been implemented in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology to improve performance, while providing programmability and dynamic reconfigurability. In this paper, we present a novel architecture for dynamically-reconfigurable image registration, along with details on the methodology used to derive the architecture. Unlike previous FPGA implementations for image registration, the architecture developed in this paper tunes its parallel processing structure adaptively based on relevant characteristics of the input images.
