Abstract(in English) This paper describes a preliminary study for VLSI implementation of oscillator network model LEGION for image segmentation proposed by D. L. Wang, et al. Calculation precision needed for the proper operations is estimated to be 5 bits by using software simulation. Since this model is described by differential equations with nonlinear functions, VLSI implementation using conventional neural network circuit architecture is difficult. A coupled oscillator circuit, which is the most important part of LEGION, is proposed by using a new pulse-width modulation (PWM) method. The basic operation of this proposed circuit is confirmed by circuit simulation.
