Abstract

The multilayer stochastic neural network and its associated VLSI array neuroprocessors are presented for VLSI optical flow computing. This network is well-suited to VLSI implementation due to the high parallelism and local connectivity. Instead of using deterministic scheme, a stochastic decision rule implemented with electronic annealing techniques is used to search optimal solutions. VLSI array neuroprocessor architecture is proved to be an effective supercomputing hardware for real-time optical flow applications. A prototype 25-neuron chip for this VLSI array neuroprocessors (called a velocity-selective hyperneuron chip) has been implemented using MOSIS 2-μm CMOS technology. A real-time optical flow machine is feasible by using arrays of hyperneuron chips.
