Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This application follows on from a recently completed EPSRC research grant A programmable focal plane processor array (GR/R 52688). During the course of that research a `vision chip' has been developed. The technology is based on integrating a processor array within the CMOS image sensor device. This massively parallel architecture and novel approach to the processor design result in very high computational performance, at very low power consumption, providing a significant improvement over currently available computer vision systems. The work has now reached a stage where commercialisation of the technology can be envisaged. The objective of this project is to develop a prototype portable smart-camera system based on our vision chip, in order to demonstrate the performance of the chip in some typical real-life applications. A portable demonstrator system will provide a proof-of-concept and serve as a vehicle for showcasing the technology to potential investors and licensees.
