| Research Abstract |
The brain computes images using quite different algorithms and architectures from those used in the conventional digital image processing systems. In this project, we designed a VLSI binocular vision system that emulates the disparity computation in the primary visual cortex. This system can computes depth information, which is needed for robots to perceive the structure of the external world, in real-time.
