Abstract
This paper describes a mixed-signal VLSI design for early vision processing, which includes an analog edge detection chip with embedded array photosensors and a digital multi-processor chip. The system architecture overview shows the combination of the analog chip and the digital processors can perform high efficient processing in the neural-based vision processing. The analog edge detection chip consisting of 258 × 258 photosensor cells can be implemented in an area of 13.5 × 15.5 mm2 using the new MOSIS 0.8 μm CMOS technology. The digital multi-processor chip which includes sixty four processing elements can be implemented in a 15.0 × 18.0 mm2 chip using a industrial-scale 0.5 μm CMOS technology from TRW, Inc. A system implementation for fingerprint verification is presented as an example of possible applications.
