Abstract
An image processing system for computing morphological characteristics of object regions in a binary image frame. The characteristics are generated at the frame rate. One embodiment utilizes an architecture including an interconnected delay component, bit packing component and LUT. The output values provided by the LUT are accumulated over one frame cycle to compute morphological characteristics.
