Abstract :
This work presents the implementation of a general-purpose programmable vision chip, with a 39×48 SIMD processor-per-pixel array, fabricated in a 0.35 μm CMOS technology. The chip employs analogue processing elements to achieve cell density of 410 cells/mm2. The array operates at 1.25 MHz with power consumption of 12 μW/cell and executes low-level image-processing algorithms in real time. Chip architecture, circuit and layout design issues are discussed. Experimental results are presented.
