Specialised architecture of dedicated hardware processors for real-time image data pre-processing

Image processing algorithms can be conventionally divided into several levels. Algorithms of low level (I) image processing are typically performed as a sequence of simple operations such as a look-up-table, binarization, median filtering, convolution. logic operation and others. The middle level (II) image processing does image segmentation, object localisation, form recognizing and character form indication. High level image processing analyses complicated scenes: movement object detection and real-time object control. The high level (III) image processmg generates algorithms and parameters for low and middle level image processing.
