Dynamically Reconfigurable Imager for Real-Time Staring Vision Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Design and characterization of a high-performance multi-acuity, multi-window dynamically reconfigurable vision (DRV) CMOS imager for real-time staring vision systems is presented. By carrying out on-focal-plane image preprocessing, the imager chip simultaneously supports low-resolution large field-of-view (FOV) scan and high-resolution narrow FOV tracking. As a result, data bottleneck inherent in full-frame operating mode is greatly eliminated, allowing high update rates (> 1 kHz), and simultaneous data capture from three partially overlapping reconfigurable regions of interest (ROIs). As a result, the imager enables a low-power staring vision system that concurrently meets the diverse and conflicting requirements of search, identify and track modes of imaging.

In this article, we describe specific constraints of vision systems that are dedicated to be embedded in mobile robots. If PC based hardware architecture is convenient in this field because of its versatility, its flexibility, its performance and its cost, current real-time operating systems are not completely adapted to long processings with varying duration, and it is often necessary to overs...

Recently, autonomous vehicles and robots demand high-speed image recognition capability that is superior to that of the human eye, in addition to capability of recognizing various natural images just like humans can. However, to realize both, the bus bandwidth of current memories is insufficient. Such an embedded system necessitates the use of numerous highresolution template images on a memory...
