A Low-Cost Parallel VLSI Architecture for Low-Level Vision

this work a nlassively parallel VLSI architec- ture is discussed: PAPRICA, a mesh connected ma- chine that can also simulate a pyramidal architec- ture. Its computational paradigm is based on the lnatchiug operator as defined in nlathematical mor- phology. This description is equivalent to the Cel- lular Automata paradigm, which can simplify the design of PAPRICA applications in low-level vision. PAPRICA is currently simulated on a Unix work- station connected to a Connection Machine CM-2, while the hardware is under testing.
