    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing pixels of an image at an imaging hardware device are provided. The method comprises receiving a first pixel. The method further comprises determining a content parameter of the first pixel. The method further comprises, based on the determining, storing the content parameter of the first pixel. The method further comprises initiating a computation of a first output pixel value for the first pixel. The method further comprises receiving a second pixel. The method further comprises determining a content parameter of the second pixel. The method further comprises determining that the second pixel is redundant in response to the content parameter of the second pixel matching the stored content parameter of the first pixel. The method further comprises, in response to the matching, setting a second output pixel value for the second pixel to be equal to the first output pixel value.
