Abstract(in English) Recently, the demand for high-speed and high-performance robot-vision system increases with the progress of the robot technology. The image processing system using three-dimensional integration technology is expected to dramatically improve the performance of robot-vision system because it has advantages of high speed operation due to shortening of wiring length, low power consumption and parallel processing capability. In this system, input image is divided into many parallel image blocks. A/D converter, frame memory, and image processing element are allocated to one image block. We can increase the number of parallel blocks if it is necessary. This system achieves high speed image processing by employing a highly parallel processing with the three-dimensionally stacked structure. On the other hand, there is a problem that the quality of output image is seriously degraded by the variations of conversion characteristics in parallel A/D converters which are distributed to many image blocks. Then we propose the new parallel image processing system to improve the quality of output image by minimizing the variations of conversion characteristics of the A/D converters using the respective processing elements. We also propose the system to execute programmable A/D conversion according to the instructions of processing elements.
