Demonstration of a low power image processing system using a SCAMP3 vision chip

A low power vision system has been developed incorporating the SCAMP3 pixel-parallel processor array vision chip. A test algorithm to detect loitering targets has shown an average power consumption of <6mW analysing 128×128 images at 8 frames per second.
