On-Chip Focal-Plane Image Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
Focal-plane image processing refers to the integration of image acquisition and image processing functions in the same integrated circuit, or adjacent les. In this paper, the motivation for focal-plane image processing will be developed. Architectures for achieving such integration in high, medium, and low density imagers will be discussed. Future directions will be suggested.

Architectures for focal plane image processing
Architectures for focal plane image processing are discussed. On-chip image preprocessing for solid-state imagers using analog CCD circuits is described for low, medium, and high density detector arrays. A spatially parallel architecture for low density, high throughput applica tions is described. For sparse illumination or event detection, a content· addressable architecture is proposed. A ne...
متن کاملDesign of an Integrated Focal Plane Architecture for Efficient Image Processing
Monolithic integration of photodetectors, analogto-digital converters, digital processing, and data storage can improve the performance, efficiency, and cost of next-generation portable image products. These components can combine into a single processing element that can be tiled to form a pixel-level focal plane processor array. This paper describes a method to design an efficient focal plane...
متن کامل20 μ sec focal plane image processing
Ultra high frame rate image processing was achieved by applying CNN-UM chips as focal plane array processors. By applying parallel optical input, and reading out binary decision from the chip only the computational overhead is negligible. This makes possible even 50,000 fps image capturing and complex processing. Experiments were done and are described in the paper.
متن کاملMulti-Chip Neuromorphic Motion Processing
We describe a multi-chip CMOS VLSI visual motion processing system which combines analog circuitry with an asynchronous digital interchip communications protocol to allow more complex motion processing than is possible with all the circuitry in the focal plane. The two basic VLSI building blocks are a sender chip which incorporates a 2D imager array and transmits the position of moving spatial ...
متن کاملFocal-Plane and Multiple Chip VLSI Approaches to CNNs
In this paper, three alternative VLSI analog implementations of CNNs are described, which have been devised to perform image processing and vision tasks: a programmable low-power CNN with embedded photosensors, a compact fixed-template CNN based on unipolar current-mode signals, and basic CMOS circuits to implement an extended CNN model using spikes. The first two VLSI approaches are intended f...
