Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We developed a novel vision system consisting of a neuromorphic analog silicon retina and FPGA circuits. The silicon retina is an analog CMOS VLSI circuit and carries out real-time image pre-processing by parallel circuits embedded together with photo sensor array. The FPGA circuits receive filtered image from the silicon retina and extract critical features relevant to target tracking, e.g., the center of object and direction of motion. The system can perform real-time robust image processing with extremely low power dissipation and a compact hardware due to the combination of analog and digital architectures and thus is thought to be suitable for various engineering applications, e.g., robot vision and multi-media.
