High-speed delayed multipath two-dimensional digital filtering architecture

In this paper, a delayed multipath method for the realization of two-dimensional nonrecursive and recursive digital filters is presented. In this method, a two-dimensional transfer function polynomial is decomposed into a number of shorter transfer function polynomials in parallel. Each of these transfer function polynomials can be realized efficiently in terms of a number of processors. Consequently, high-speed computation can be obtained which can be applied to various digital-filtering applications. For a two-dimensional finite-impulse response digital filter of order. and , the maximum throughput can be times that of the conventional direct-form realization using one processor.
