Digital image processing.

摘要

A system and a method for processing digital representations of images to produce dilations and erosions at unparalleled speeds and efficiencies includes digital circuitry for effecting a dilation by repetitively delaying the serialized digital image and ORing the delayed digital image back into the serial signal stream. The circuitry thus includes a plurality of stages (128a - 128f) each comprising a delay (130a-130f) and an OR gate (132a - 132f) in which the input signal to the stage and the delayed signal are ORed.
