This paper proposes an IP hierarchy based on 3 X 3 convolution template to construct large-scale image convolution architecture, such as 6 X 6, 9 X 9 or more. It's an aid to speed up the designing for image- processing hardware system. The key hierarchies of 3 X 3 image convolution consist of parallel convolutions and pipelined multipliers. The hierarchies are designed for top- model with structural VHDL and all sub-models with RTL VHDL. The system is divided into some models and connected all after synthesized independently. Cadence and Synopsys are utilized for VHDL simulation and for synthesis respectively in order to obtain the preferable effects.
