Image processing, simply by the sheer volume of data to be processed, is very demanding of processing power. Even some of the simplest algorithms are computationally intensive, often requiring several multiplies per pixel processed. The processing throughput requirement virtually eliminates the use of conventional DSP processor chips as the compute engine in most serious imaging systems. Until recently, the only alternatives were use a large array of DSP processors, or to design custom pipelined hardware.
