Abstract
An efficient parallel computing method for a box filter, includes: step 1, with respect to a given degree of parallelism N and a radius r of the filter kernel, establishing a first architecture provided without an extra register and a second architecture provided with the extra register; step 2, building a first adder tree for the first architecture and a second adder tree for the second architecture, respectively; step 3, searching the first adder tree and the second adder tree from top to bottom, calculating the pixel average corresponding to each filter kernel by using the first adder tree and the second adder tree, respectively, and counting resources required to be consumed by the first architecture and the second architecture, respectively; and, step 4, selecting one architecture consuming a relatively small resources from the first architecture and the second architecture for computing the box filter.
