Abstract :
Describes the architecture of a mesh array smart sensor, in close relation with the algorithms to be carried out by it. On the one hand, a monolithic implementation of the mesh array is a logical consequence of its design requirements within the framework of full custom integration. On the other hand, today´s implementations are limited to Boolean picture processing and binary picture memorization if sensible size pictures are to be handled. Nevertheless, the validity of these choices is confirmed by a 50-mm2 area (60×60PE) chip which has been laid out in a 2-μm two-metal CMOS technology
