Vector Addressing for Non-Sequential Sampling in Fir Image Filtering

Norishige Fukushima, Teppei Tsubokawa, Yoshihiro Maeda · 2019

Image filtering is fundamental in image processing. The acceleration is essential since image resolution has highly increased. For the acceleration, image subsampling is a general approach for any filtering. However, this approach has a drawback in accuracy due to image aliasing. Several papers moderate this problem by sub-sampling image or filtering kernel non-sequential sampling. In this paper, we improve the sampling combined with image and kernel subsampling. We also accelerate the work of non-sequential sampling by vector addressing of hardware acceleration. Experimental results show that the proposed method accelerate bilateral filtering and adaptive Gaussian filtering. Also, the proposed vector addressing accelerate both filters.
