摘要

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate a novel design method using a genetic algorithm (GA) to automatically evolve the multiplierless CSC circuit architecture. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the described design method, several test images are adopted respectively to perform RGB to YCbCr color conversion experiment. The experimental results represent that the performance of the implemented hardware architecture is good when carrying out color space conversion from RGB to YCbCr. It also has the advantage of being high-speed, low-complexity, and low-area.
