A Self-Reconfigurable Platform for the Implementation of 2D Filterbanks with Real and Complex-Valued Inputs, Outputs, and Filter Coefficients

We introduce a dynamically reconfigurable 2D filterbank that supports both real and complex-valued inputs, outputs, and filter coefficients. This general purpose filterbank allows for the efficient implementation of 2D filterbanks based on separable 2D FIR filters that support all possible combinations of input and output signals.The system relies on the use of dynamic reconfiguration of real/complex one-dimensional filters tominimize the required hardware resources.The system is demonstrated using an equiripple and a Gabor filterbank and the results using both real and complex-valued input images. We summarize the performance of the system in terms of the required processing times, energy, and accuracy.
