چکیده

We discuss a cellular-automata (CA) LSI core that extracts early features of objects in images, such as sizes and skeletons. A CMOS-image sensor with a CA core enables high-speed image processing. We propose an efficient CA algorithm based on rotated template matching. Each cell circuit in the proposed CA is implemented by a digital circuit, and transistors in each cell circuit number 198 in full customized design. The CA LSI consists of a large number of cell circuits operating in parallel to ensure fast, efficient object extraction as the number of cells increases. With a 0.25μm CMOS process, the total area of each cell circuit is 30 30μm2. Simulation results indicated that image processing with 320 240 cells operates at up to 25MHz.

Course Project Milestone: Real-time object detection and recognition

Real-time, scalable, multi-view object instance detection is an active area of research in computer vision. An efficient template-based object detection algorithm has recently been proposed [2] that utilizes both color and depth information, and works on texture-less objects. However, the template-based approach scales linearly with the number of objects and views. This project uses the same ef...
