Abstract
The authors have designed, built and tested a number of analog
CMOS VLSI circuits for computing 1D motion from the time-varying
intensity values provided by an array of on-chip phototransistors. The
authors present experimental data for three such circuits and discuss
their relative performance. One circuit approximates the correlation
model, one the gradient model, while a third chip uses resistive grids
to compute zerocrossings to be tracked over time by a separate digital
processor. All circuits integrate image acquisition with image
processing functions and compute velocity in real time. Finally, for
comparison, the authors also describe the performance of a simple motion
algorithm using off-the-shelf components
