Features and Uniqueness
  • Toward realizing a high-performance neuromorphic vision processing system, our research involves a neural network model of spatial perception based on motion-stereo vision and its implementation on a very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI). Important parameters for spatial perception such as time-to-contact, orientation, and the shortest distance to plane surfaces of a target object are recognized by using the model without knowing moving direction and velocity of the object. We have developed a VLSI capable of performing visual perception based on the model with low power consumption, reduced less than 1/100 compared with a commercial CPU.
Practical Application

Targeted applications include a drone flying autonomously equipped with collision avoidance system by visual perception. Targeted industry includes infrastructure inspection, agriculture, logistics, and so on.
