Abstract :
This paper presents an analog VLSI retina-based passive stereoscopic system for real-time obstacle detection in automobile context. The system is built of two analog visual feature extraction retinas with lens connected to a PC via a Parallel Port interface in order to generate control signals and to display the computed depth map
