Approximate array multipliers by Balasubramanian, Padmanabhan, Nayar, Raunaq, Maskell, Douglas Leslie

“…This article describes the design of approximate array multipliers by making vertical or horizontal cuts in an accurate array multiplier followed by different input and output assignments within the multiplier. We consider a digital image denoising application and show how different combinations of input and output assignments in an approximate array multiplier affect the quality of the denoised images. …”
