Vertically integrated focal-plane sensor-processor chip design, combining image sensor with mixed-signal and digital processor arrays on a four layer structure is introduced. The mixed-signal processor array is designed to perform early image processing, while the role of the digital processor array is to accomplish foveal processing. The...

Vision is expected to play important roles for car safety enhancement. Imaging systems can be used to enlarging the vision field of the driver. For instance capturing and displaying views of hidden areas around the car which the driver can analyze for safer decision-making. Vision systems go a step further. They can autonomously analyze the...

Two Cellular Neural Net Universal Machine (CNN-UM) prototypes are demonstrated in action. The first one is the latest 4096 cell-processor, analog I/O, analogic CNN visual microprocessor, on which online video image processing will be performed. The second one, the 20/spl times/22 binary input-binary output CNN-UM chip is introduced as an ultra...

This paper presents an architecture for the implementation of vision chips in 3-D integration technologies. This architecture employs the multi-functional pixel concept to achieve full parallel processing of the information and hence high processing speed. The top layer includes an array of optical sensors which are parallel-connected to the...
