CAVIAR: A 45k Neuron, 5M Synapse, 12G Connects/s AER Hardware Sensory-Processing- Learning-Actuating System for High-Speed Visual Object Recognition and Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes CAVIAR, a massively parallel hardware implementation of a spike-based sensing-processing-learning-actuating system inspired by the physiology of the nervous system. CAVIAR uses the asychronous address-event representation (AER) communication framework and was developed in the context of a European Union funded project. It has four custom mixed-signal AER chips, five custom digital AER interface components, 45k neurons (spiking cells), up to 5M synapses, performs 12G synaptic operations per second, and achieves millisecond object recognition and tracking latencies.

Spike-Based Vision Processing. Seeing without Frames
Conventional vision sensing and processing is based on capturing sequences of still frames and process them (or a subset of them) one by one. For sophisticated vision processing usually a complicated sequence of 2D operations is required: different convolution operations, edge detections and extraction, computation of orientations, grouping of segments, contour detections and segmentations, mor...
