Abstract

This paper presents a high throughput and energy-efficient retina inspired tone mapping processor. Several hardware design techniques have been proposed to achieve high throughput and high energy efficiency, including data partition based parallel processing with S-shape sliding, adjacent frame feature sharing, multi-layer convolution pipelining and convolution filter compression with zero skipping convolution. The proposed processor has been implemented on a Xilinx's Virtex7 FPGA for demonstration. It is able to achieve a throughput of 189 frames per second for 1024∗768 RGB images with 819 mW. Compared with several state-of-The-Art tone mapping processors, the proposed processor achieves higher throughput and energy efficiency. It is suitable for high-speed and energy-constrained video enhancement applications such as autonomous vehicle and drone monitoring.
