  • Abstract
    Recently, non-linear diffusion processes have been introduced to improve the performance of front-end vision. Their real-time implementation is extremely demanding on the hardware. An efficient and realistic realization needs an application-specific parallel architecture mapped onto a customized IC. An efficient parameterizable VLSI-architecture of a processor element used in a flexible linear array is introduced
