Abstract
this paper presents the design and VLSI implementation of a CVE (Computer Vision Engine) for real-time video analysis. It offloads CPU/GPU for the power-hungry computation for various vision tasks such as face detection, object detection, motion tracking, etc. The design features 22 computation kernels and is divided into three main categories. The proposed CVE is integrated in a smart video surveillance SoC (System on Chip) and fabricated with TSMC 28nm technology. The total hardware costs are 392K gates and 75.5 KB memory. The measured results show that the design is able to achieve $1920\times1080$ 30fps real-time video analysis when running at 400MHz. The total power consumption is 20mW and 0.32nJ/pixel of energy efficiency.
