Abstract

This paper presents a cascade architecture for bio-inspired information processing. We use AER (Address Event Representation) for transmitting and processing visual information provided by an asynchronous temporal contrast silicon retina. Using this architecture, we also present a multiple objects tracking algorithm; this algorithm is described in VHDL and implemented in a FPGA (Spartan II), which is part of the USB-AER platform developed by some of the authors.
