A new CNN IC for stereo visual system
Mário Sérgio Salerno, F. Sargeni, Vincenzo Bonaiuto · 2002
In environment sensing, one of the most relevant knots is certainly represented by the implementation of an effective system for the real time extraction of the three-dimensional information. Several effective approaches on this topic have been proposed in literature. Among the others, the Stereo Vision approach seems to be really attractive. Moreover, such an algorithm can be effectively mapped on a Cellular Neural Network. Consequently, it can be analogue implemented overcoming to the difficulties leading from the relative high computational cost and the required real time processing. In this paper, a new CNN chip well suited for a Stereo Visual System will be presented.
