Abstract
A real-time visual processing system using a general- purpose vision chip, an image sensor in which photo detectors and processing elements are integrated, is de- scribed. In order to control the vision chip and pro- cess its output at high speed, a novel architecture called SPARSIS, in which control process of the vision chip is pipelined and integrated with a RISC type integer pipeline, has been developed. This architecture can guarantee real-time operation with high temporal res- olution, and even makes possible software-controlled AID conversion. Sample algorithms demonstrating its fine-grained realtimeness, and experimental results with the implemented system, are also described.Keywords
