9 . 6 Reconfigurable Processor for Energy - Scalable Computational Photography

چکیده
Computational photography applications such as lightfield photography [1] enable capture and synthesis of images that could not be captured with a traditional camera. Non-linear filtering techniques like bilateral filtering [2] form a significant part of computational photography. These techniques have a wide range of applications, including High-Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging [3], LowLight Enhanced (LLE) imaging [4], tone management and video enhancement. The high computational complexity of such multimedia processing applications necessitates fast hardware implementations [5] to enable real-time processing. This paper describes a hardware implementation of a reconfigurable multiapplication processor for computational photography.

T hroughout computing’s long history and within the many forms of computers existing today, from hand-held smartphones to mammoth supercomputers, the one common denominator is the fixed-logic processor. In conventional computing, each application must be adapted to match the fixed structures, parallelism, functionality, and precision of the target processor—such as the CPU, digital signal proce...
