Operator XOR

Operator Library: Logic

The operator XOR performs a bitwise logical XOR (exclusive OR) operation. Each output bit is set to a logical "1" if the sum of the corresponding input bit values is odd, otherwise the output is "0". The number of input links has to be selected at the instantiation of the module.

Thus the output bit i of n inputs is

1

The range of the input bit width is [1, 64] for unsigned values. For signed inputs, the range is [2, 64]. For unsigned color inputs, the range is [3, 63] and for signed color, the range is [6, 63].

Parameters

None

Examples of Use

The use of operator XOR is shown in the following examples:

  • 'Morphological Edge'

    Examples - A binary eroded image is compared with the original. An edge is detected if both differ.
