An Associative Processor Array Designed for Computer Vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
The architecture of a new associative processor array chip, GLiTCH, is outlined. The suitability of such arrays for image processing and computer vision work is stressed, and a general purpose vision processing module, currently being designed, is described. Effective programming of bit-serial procssor arrays requires an efficient library of low-level routines, especially for operations such as data routing and multi-bit arithmetic. The current state of a number of these primitive operations is described and they are used to solve two image processing tasks.
