Computing 3-D Motion in Custom Analog and Digital VLSI.

Abstract

This thesis examines a complete design framework for a real-time, autonomous system with specialized VLSI hardware for computing 3-D camera motion. In the proposed architecture, the first step is to determine point correspondences between two images. Two processors, a CCD array edge detector and a mixed analog(digital binary block correlator, are proposed for this task. The report is divided into three parts. Part I covers the algorithmic analysis; part II describes the design and test of a 32 times 32 CCD edge detector fabricated through MOSIS; and part III compares the design of the mixed analog(digital correlator to a fully digital implementation.
