Abstract:This paper proposes to implement multifunctional image filters using multifunctional gates such as polymorphic gates or multiplexed ordinary gates. The design procedure is based on evolutionary design and optimization conducted using Cartesian genetic programming (CGP). Because of the complexity of the problem the design is decomposed to two phases. In the first step, a multifunctional filter is evolved at the registertransfer level (RTL) using a set of processing elements containing functions such as minimum/… Show more
