A nonlinear oscillator network LSI for image region segmentation

چکیده
Introduction: In order to recognize the image of a natural scene, coherent patterns should be extracted and processed separately for reducing the complexity of the problem, because several objects usually exist in a natural scene. D. L. Wang et al. proposed a nonlinear oscillator network model called locally excitatory, globally inhibitory oscillator networks (LEGION) for image segmentation [1]. We modified this model for VLSI implementation based on the merged analog-digital architecture [2], and developed nonlinear oscillator VLSI chips [3].

A Nonlinear Oscillator Network for Gray-Level Image Segmentation and PWM/PPM Circuits for Its VLSI Implementation
This paper proposes a nonlinear oscillator network model for gray-level image segmentation suitable for massively parallel VLSI implementation. The model performs image segmentation in parallel using nonlinear analog dynamics. Because of the limited calculation precision in VLSI implementation, it is important to estimate the calculation precision required for proper operation. By numerical sim...
متن کاملCoarse Image Region Segmentation Using Resistive-fuse Networks Implemented in FPGA
Two digital LSI implementation methods for nonlinear resistive networks are proposed; one is for pixel-parallel operation and the other is for pixel-serial operation. we have designed digital circuits that emulate the operation of analog nonlinear resistive networks by discrete-time dynamics based on clock operation. The steady state of the networks is obtained by repeating the updating sequenc...
متن کاملA dynamically coupled neural oscillator network for image segmentation
We propose a dynamically coupled neural oscillator network for image segmentation. Instead of pair-wise coupling, an ensemble of oscillators coupled in a local region is used for grouping. We introduce a set of neighborhoods to generate dynamical coupling structures associated with a specific oscillator. Based on the proximity and similarity principles, two grouping rules are proposed to explic...
