VISP 128
Visual Instruction Sensor Processor (VISP):
Analog Processor for 8x8 Matrix Multiplications (as in JPEG). Focal plane operation,
demonstrator imager with 64x128 Pixels. Analog pixel data is multiplied with digital
coefficients by digitally controlling the current paths in the analog processor.
A computational ADC performs binary weighted sum in a error-correcting current mode ADC. The analog processor is sufficient for JPEG compression with good quality.
The concept is fast enough to be scaled to 720 lines / 30 fps.
