Abstract

The paper introduces a new approach to automatic design of image filters for a given type of noise. The approach employs evolvable hardware at simplified functional level and produces circuits that outperform conventional designs. If an image is available both with and without noise, the whole process of filter design can be done automatically, without influence of a designer.
