TFB 19: Bau eines prototypischen ASIC-Chips zur Echtzeitbildanalyse

该转移中心将来自合作研究中心509的关于视觉基本机制的知识与德国联邦国防军大学的微电子技术以及相关的微电子应用中心汉堡-哈堡(MAZ)整合在一起。技术目标是开发和生产用于实时立体深度分析的ASIC芯片。基于立体深度感知的神经元模型，提出了一种结合了基于相位的立体算法和互相关算法的优点的算法。该芯片将在30mm2的面积上实现这些功能，从而将紧凑性和速度结合在一起。立体芯片将首次允许在不降低分辨率的情况下，以大约两倍的CCD摄像机频率在视觉场景中进行精确的深度和运动分析。

This transfer centre integrates the knowledge about basic mechanisms of vision from the collaborative research centre 509 with the microelectronic know how of the University of the Bundeswehr and the associated microelectronic application centre Hamburg-Harburg (MAZ). The technical goal is the development and production of an ASIC-chip for real-time analysis of stereoscopic depth. Based on neuronal models of stereoscopic depth perception an algorithm was developed that combines the advantages of phase-based stereoalgorithms with those of cross-correlation procedures. The chip will realize these functions on an area of 30 mm2 and in this way will combine compactness and speed. The stereo chip shall for the first time allow to perform precise analysis of depth and motion in a visual scene with about double CCD camera frequency without reduction of the resolution.
