Object-oriented image analysis via analogic CNN algorithms. I. Motion estimation

Image analysis algorithms are of great interest in the context of object-oriented coding schemes. In this paper a new analogic CNN algorithm for obtaining the motion estimation is illustrated, whereas the companion paper (Grassi and Grieco, 2002) focuses on the remaining steps of the object-oriented image analysis stage. Simulation results, carried out for Miss America and Claire video sequences, confirm the validity of the approach developed herein.
