title: A digit-serial architecture for gray-scale morphological filtering.
abstract: We present a digit-serial architecture for gray-scale morphological operations that operate on radix-2 redundant numbers. We present new implementations for a redundant number adder and a maximum unit that are used in the morphological dilation unit. These new designs have areas comparable to 2's complement implementations but have significantly smaller latencies.
