Abstract :
Smart pixel architectures offer important new opportunities for low cost, portable image processing systems. They offer greater I/O bandwidth and computing performance than systems based on CCD and microprocessors. However, finding a balance between performance, flexibility, efficiency, and cost depends on an evaluation of target applications. This applications-driven research combines integrated OE detectors with a high performance, flexible computing architecture to achieve a compact, efficient solution.
