Summary:
In this paper, an efficient FPGA-based hardware algorithm and its extensions are proposed for calculating the edit distance as a degree of similarity between two strings. The proposed algorithms are implemented on FPGA and compared to software which implements the same algorithm. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
