Block-matching in FPGA

Abstract

Block-matching and 3D filtering (BM3D) is an image denoising algorithm that works in two similar steps. Both of these steps need to perform grouping by block-matching. We implement the block-matching in an FPGA, leveraging its ability to perform parallel computations. Our goal is to enable other researchers to use our solution in the future for real-time video denoising in video cameras that use FPGAs (such as the AXIOM Beta).
