Grayscale morphology is a powerful tool in image, video, and visual applications. A reconfigurable processor is proposed for grayscale image morphological processing. The architecture of the processor is a combination of a reconfigurable grayscale processing module (RGPM) and peripheral circuits. The RGPM, which consists of four grayscale computing units, conducts grayscale morphological operations and implements related algorithms of more than 100 f/s for a 1024 × 1024 image. The periphery

Synthesis results show that the proposed processor can provide 43.12 GOPS and achieve 8.87 GOPS/mm2 at a 220-MHz system clock. The simulation and experimental results show that the processor is suitable for high-performance embedded systems.
