Increasing the performance of MAP (multi-angled parallelism) erosion-dilation for feature extraction through unary/binary operations

The multiangled parallelism (MAP) concept, which defines directional operations with directional elements, is discussed. To achieve the MAP operation, a parallel architecture in which MAP operations are summarized as single or cyclic, unary or binary, logical operations is proposed. The hardware design is simulated using an existing image processor. It is demonstrated that geometric figures can be extracted from a topographical map by first extracting the core features and then expanding it gradually
