Three Dimensional Cellular Automata for Subpixel Target Detection

Abstract

This project on subpixel target detection relates to research in the optimization of three-dimensional computing structures for use in target detection and to research in the reduction of an optimum computing to an efficiently-designed silicon chip. Work reported here concentrated on studies on optimizing the design of a two-dimensional cellular automation. Our conclusion was that, for typical subpixel target detection tasks where values of the number of processing cycles is small, there is an optimum size for the triply redundant memories when values of the data window being processed are significantly smaller than the data field. This is an unexpected result and will have significantly impact on further design studies.
