A reconfigurable VLSI architecture for 2D space-filtering operations was proposed

which is capable of supporting different window operations of infrared auto target recognition (ATR) applications

offering the possibility of addressing different image processing applications from the SoC perspective.Compared with other available architectural solutions

the proposed architecture gains better processing rate.The proposed architecture was fabricated with SIMC 0.18μm CMOS technology

and the maximum clock frequency

power consumption

and area are 135Mhz

52mW

128.2K Gates

respectively.The peak processing performance of the architecture achieves 6.6GOPs.
