Abstract
This brief presents an application-specific instruc-tion-set processor (ASIP) for real-time Retinex image and videofiltering. Design optimizations are addressed at algorithmic andarchitectural levels, the latter including a dedicated memorystructure, an adapted pipeline, bypasses, a custom address gen-erator and special looping structures. Synthesized in CMOStechnology, the ASIP stands for its better energy-flexibilitytradeoff versus reference ASIC and digital signal processingRetinex implementations
