Systolic Optical Cellular Array Processors
H. John Caulfield · Optical Engineering · 1986
Using space-variant pattern recognition of up to 256 3 x 3 patterns of l's and 0's in parallel and inserting image information sequentially in a well-defined pattern, we can construct an optical systolic cellular array processor for 3 x 3 neighborhoods that produces output points at one-third the rate at which points are input. This allows reprogrammable preprocessing of data input.
