• abstract = "A new and efficient automatic hybrid method, called Hy-EH, based on Virtual Reconfigurable Architectures (VRAs) and implemented in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is proposed, for a hardware-embedded construction of image filters. The method also encompass an evolutionary software system, which represents the chromosome as a bi-dimensional grid of function elements (FEs), entirely parametrised using the Verilog-HDL (Verilog Hardware Description Language), which is reconfigured using the MATLAB toolbox GPLAB, before its download into the FPGA. In the so-called intrinsic proposals, evolutionary processes take place internally to the hardware, in a pre-defined fixed way, in extrinsic proposals evolutionary processes happen externally to the hardware. The hybrid Hy-EH method, described in this paper allows for the intrinsic creation of a flexible-sized hardware, in an extrinsic way i.e., by means of an evolutionary process that happens externally to the hardware. Hy-EH is also a convenient choice as far as extrinsic methods are considered, since it does not depend on a proprietary solution for its implementation. A comparative analysis of using the Hy-EH versus an existing intrinsic proposal, in two well-known problems, has been conducted. Results show that by using Hy-EH there was little hardware complexity due to the optimised and more flexible use of shorter chromosomes.",
