The present invention proposes two neighborhood picture frame bank structure that realize field pictorial data parallel access, shown in Fig. 4~14, is described with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows:
Embodiment 1. uses up the neighborhood picture frame memory bank that the full address structure realizes the 4*4 neighborhood.
Being connected as shown in Figure 4 of this bank-address bus and data bus, pictorial data be stored in the storage chip the position as shown in Figure 5.
As can be seen from Figure 4, each storage chip all has oneself independently address wire (AN) and data line (DN), 16 independently storage chip constituted the neighborhood picture frame storage array of a 4*4 neighborhood, can finish the parallel access of 4*4 adjacent region data.In Fig. 5, " O " represents each pictorial data, the sequence number of the storage chip that this pictorial data is positioned is indicated in its below, top line is indicated the column address of the pictorial data of each storage chip correspondence among the figure, one of left side row are indicated the row address of the pictorial data of each storage chip correspondence, the 4*4 data neighborhood at random of a box indicating among the figure among the figure.In given pictorial data was stored in position in the storage chip, we can see, each pictorial data is stored in the neighborhood picture frame memory bank shown in Figure 4, and its address is made up of two parts: plot+offset address.In neighborhood access each time, the row address of the pictorial data of each storage chip correspondence is designated as A ' H, then:
A′ H=4(N+M)+K ······ (1)
In the formula, 4 (N+M) part is a plot, and K is an offset address, M=0,1, K=0,1,2,3.
In like manner, in neighborhood access each time, the column address of the pictorial data of each storage chip correspondence is designated as A ' v, then:
A′ v=4(J+I)+L ······ (2)
In the formula, 4 (J+I) part is a plot, and L is an offset address, I=0,1, L=0,1,2,3.
The address of delivering to 16 storage chips is the plot of pictorial data, the actual address of 16 storage chips and pictorial data address are different, neighborhood picture frame memory bank at 4*4 neighborhood shown in Figure 4, the plot of pictorial data row address moves to right two and then is the row address of storage chip, in like manner the plot of pictorial data column address moves to right two and then is the column address of storage chip, so, in neighborhood access each time, the row address of each storage chip is designated as AH, then:
A H=N+M ······ (3)
In the formula, M=0,1.
In like manner, in neighborhood access each time, the column address of each storage chip is designated as AV, then:
A v=J+I ······ (4)
In the formula, I=0,1.
In neighborhood access each time, 16 storage chip address (A1~A16) not necessarily identical separately independently, with the 4*4 data neighborhood that square frame was comprised among Fig. 5 is example, 16 vertex neighborhood data by from a left side to from top to bottom series arrangement, the chip of its storage should be in proper order: T6, T7, T4, T5, T10, T11, T8, T9, T14, T15, T12, T13, T2, T3, T1, T2, as can be seen, in neighborhood access this time, the M=1 of the row address of T4, T5, T8, T9, T12, T13, T0, T1 storage chip, the M=0 of the row address of other storage chip.In like manner, in neighborhood access this time, the M=1 of the column address of T2, T3, T0, T1 storage chip, the M=0 of the column address of other storage chip.From this example as can be seen, a neighborhood picture frame memory bank must carry out address arithmetic, that is to say to be provided with totalizer, carry out the computing of formula 3, formula 4.
On the other hand, in when the parallel read-out operation of adjacent region data, need the data of being read be sorted, so that obtaining with the upper left corner is the 4*4 data neighborhood of order of starting point, among Fig. 4 16 independently the data line exported separately of storage chip be respectively D0~D15, wherein one group of data line is represented with DN, and correct 4*4 adjacent region data line is respectively D0 '~D15 ', put in order as shown in Figure 6, wherein one group of data line is represented with D ' N, one group of data line of 4*4 data neighborhood upper left corner starting point represents with D0 ', then: arrange
D′0=DN ······ (5)
N=4*I+M in the formula
Obtained after the storage chip number of D ' 0 correspondence, counted the storage chip number that I, M can extrapolate D ' N correspondence by the ranks plot.Fig. 5 pictorial data that explained in precise term is stored in position in the storage chip, can obtain the address mapping and the data sorting of the neighborhood picture frame memory bank of 4*4 neighborhood thus.The neighborhood picture frame memory bank of 4*4 neighborhood shown in Figure 4 can be the neighborhood picture frame memory bank of many bit, also can be the neighborhood picture frame memory bank of two-value, and this will see the bit length of the storage chip that each independent frame of formation is deposited.
Example 1: constitute the 1st group (2) with the VRAM chip and plant the neighborhood picture frame memory bank of adjacent region data (word length is 8bit) and adopt address structure completely.Utilize the SAM quick port of this chip to read the neighborhood pictorial data, can obtain the row order adjacent region data of adjacent two row, thereby real-time robet algorithm, the two-value of realization TV cut apart and statistics with histogram.The circuit block diagram of this neighborhood picture frame memory bank as shown in Figure 7.
Among the figure, T0~T3 is four VRAM storage chips, can select the TC524256BZ-80VRAM storage chip of Toshiba Corp for use, in order to simplify circuit, selected the TMS34010 chip of American TI Company for use, this chipset computer interface, synchronous sequence produce, frame deposits that sequential forms and hardware handles, use more convenient.The VRAM storage chip divides DRAM port and sam port, in this structure, the computer access frame is deposited, used the DRAM port of VRAM storage chip, at this moment data channel comprises that bi-directional data drives (1), TMS34010, bi-directional data drives (2), wherein high four figures is according to (MD4~MD7), low four figures is according to (MD0~MD3) on the DRAM data line of linking T1, T3 storage chip on the DRAM data line of linking T0, T2 storage chip.Fireballing A/D, D/A and hardware handles are then used the sam port of VRAM storage chip, as shown in the figure, the data line of four sam ports is respectively OD0~OD3, OD4~OD7, OD8~OD11, OD12~OD15, these data lines are linked two-way multi-way switch, the video image that video camera comes forms the data of AD0~AD7 and also delivers to two-way multi-way switch after the A/D conversion, when image acquisition, can deposit the video image data of numeral in the memory bank in.Two-way multi-way switch is exported three circuit-switched data, one the tunnel delivers to D/A goes as video data (DA0~DA7), two-way is delivered to ranking circuit in addition, and the effect of ranking circuit is to export 2 data exactly, makes the row address on this road of D0 always lack 1 than the row address on this road of D1.Then through same the latching of two-stage, latch pulse is VCLK, each grade latch can be made of two 74LS374, and pictorial data (1D0~1D7,2D0~2D7,3D0~3D7,4D0~4D7), the adjacent region data that provides the Robet algorithm to need of the 2*2 neighborhood of row order is provided thus.The address of memory bank is divided into two-way, T0, T1 use one tunnel address (A1), T2, T3 use another address, road (A2), the pictorial data of T0, T1 memory chip stores even number line, the pictorial data of T2, T3 memory chip stores odd-numbered line, in address converter, be provided with totalizer,, automatically export the two-way address in the address converter according to the first location of current access.Timing sequencer provides storage chip needed all sequential, this sequential is divided into two-way, one the tunnel gives T0, T1 storage chip, and T2, T3 storage chip are given in another road, this two paths of signals all comprise the VRAM chip needed/RAS ,/CAS ,/WE ,/OE ,/SOE and SC signal.The synchronous sequence that also generation system of TMS34010 chip uses, comprise row synchronously, field synchronization and composite blanking signal.Too many or too much for use full address structure of example 2. realizes the two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank of 3*3 neighborhood.
Here the bit number of selecting each storage unit of storage chip for use is 4bit, being connected as shown in Figure 8 of this bank-address bus and data bus, pictorial data be stored in the storage chip the position as shown in Figure 9.
The structure of example 2 is different with the structure of example 1, example 1 is the neighborhood picture frame memory bank of the 4*4 neighborhood that is made of complete address, each image pixel is a storage unit of a corresponding storage chip all, in order to constitute the neighborhood picture frame storage of 4*4 neighborhood, at least need 16 storage chips, and 2 li of examples, respectively corresponding four pixels of four bit of a storage unit of a storage chip, in order to constitute the conditional two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank of incomplete 4*4 neighborhood, then only need four storage chips, this miraculous minimizing will make the two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank of big neighborhood be easy to realize.Here why be called conditional two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank, be meant in storage organization shown in Figure 8, if the neighborhood of random access 4*4, the rank addresses of the first location of its image pixel must be an even number all, and Here it is is called the cause of conditional two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank.But, by the two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank that storage organization shown in Figure 8 forms, can become the two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank of 3*3 neighborhood, the rank addresses of the first location of its image pixel is no longer limited.The 3*3 neighborhood that solid box among Fig. 9 is surrounded is exactly a 3*3 neighborhood at random.Similar with example 1, example 2 also has the problem of the data sorting of address mapping, no longer superfluous here chatting.
Example 2: realize the function of example (2) with the VRAM chip, the full address structure of promptly toing many or too much for use realizes the two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank of 3*3 neighborhood, and the circuit block diagram of this neighborhood picture frame memory bank as shown in figure 10.
Among the figure, T0~T3 is four VRAM storage chips, can select the TC524258BZ-80VRAM storage chip of Toshiba Corp for use, its capacity is 256K*4bit, the storage organization that this two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank adopts Fig. 8 to use, its pictorial data is stored in the position in the storage chip, also as shown in Figure 9.1bit binary image data FD0 at a high speed writes the SAM of VRAM chip according to video rate by multi-way switch, then through writing the transmission operation, by data structure shown in Figure 9, deposit the storage chip of T0~T3 in, the address wire of these four storage chips, data line (comprises the DRAM port, sam port) all be independently, address converter has provided four tunnel address A0~A3 independently, be added to respectively on the address wire of T0~T3 storage chip, the 3*3 adjacent region data is to form through ranking circuit after reading from the DRAM port of VRAM chip again, 3*3 adjacent region data as the solid line wicket among Fig. 9, order is for from left to right, from the top down, data are designated as LD0~LD8 successively, the 3*3 adjacent region data is the adjacent region data on any random address, as long as a given address, just can read with this address is the 3*3 adjacent region data at center, this storage organization, follow the tracks of on the border that is particularly suitable for chain construction, because this algorithm is exactly the 3*3 adjacent region data that needs on the random address.Certainly, this example also can obtain the adjacent region data of 4*4, but the rank addresses of the starting point of the adjacent region data of 4*4 (upper left point) must be an even number.The argumentation such as the example 1 of other parts of this example (as TMS34010 etc.).
Neighborhood picture frame memory bank has solved the problem of the parallel access of M*N image neighbourhood effectively, that is to say, can realize the parallel access of M*N image neighbourhood in an accessing operation of memory bank the cycle, theoretically, the value of M and N can be very big, this shows that its access efficiency is very high.For instance, in example 1, if constitute with VRAM complete address structure the 4*4 neighborhood neighborhood picture frame memory bank and adopt the SAM quick port of VRAM chip, can accomplish in the time of 40ns, to obtain simultaneously the image neighbourhood data of 16 8bit (even more bit), at this moment data throughput is equivalent to 40 times (data transmission rates that promptly are equivalent to 16MBYTE/S) of real-time video pictorial data transfer rate, if constitute the neighborhood picture frame memory bank of bigger image neighbourhood, its data transmission frequency is surprisingly high especially.For another example 2 li of examples, if constitute with VRAM incomplete address structure the 3*3 neighborhood two-value neighborhood picture frame memory bank and adopt the DRAM port of VRAM chip, can carry out reading of 3*3 random neighborhood image like this, thus and then realize that the border of the chain construction of hardware follows the tracks of, the high speed tracking velocity that is reached thus is that other hardware and software method is inaccessible at present.As seen, adopt neighborhood picture frame memory bank to constitute image processing system at a high speed, hardware processor will no longer be to wait for pictorial data, but be difficult in time handle neighborhood pictorial data the most at a high speed.
The image neighbourhood frame of structure of the present invention is deposited and is supported four kinds of data modes, as shown in figure 11, wherein scheme (a), (b) two kinds of data modes are data modes that conventional picture frame is deposited normal use, data mode shown in the figure (a) also comprises the data mode of depositing the identical point of access simultaneously from two independent frames, data mode shown in the figure (b) also comprises from two independent frames deposits the data mode that access is simultaneously gone together mutually, and scheme (c), figure (d) then is the particular data form that the image neighbourhood frame is deposited, and also comprises the data mode of depositing the while access identical point neighborhood and the neighborhood of going together mutually from two independent image neighbourhood frames certainly.
