Vision systems based on the 128×128 focal plane cellular visual microprocessor chips

چکیده
Focal Plane Cellular Visual Microprocessor chip development reached the necessary technology level that it can be applied in industrial vision systems. These TeraOPS speed, internally analog visual chips can capture and process thousands of medium resolution images in a second. The price for this extraordinary high speed is that their hardware-software environment and programming method is far from trivial. In this paper, we discuss architecture considerations, and introduce a standalone vision system family development case study.
