Intelligent Systems Laboratory
10 Gigaflop Image Processor
The goal of this large multi-year project is to design and build an
image processing system having a reconfigurable fault tolerant pipeline
network architecture and capable of a peak processing
rate of at least 10 gigaflops. The design will involve 256 processors of the
Intel 80860 class processor or equivalent. Each processor will have separate
local memory for image data and instructions. The
operations supported by the system will include mathematical morphology,
convolution,
connected component analysis, and pattern classification. It will be able to
be used for real time processing of images from vision guided robot assembly
and inspection.
