CNN-based analog visual microprocessors have similarities with the so-called Single Instruction Multiple Data systems, although they work directly on analog signal representations obtained through embedded optical sensors and hence do not need a frontend sensory plane or analog-to-digital converters. The architecture of these visual microprocessors is illustrated in the paper through two prototype chips, namely: ACE4K and ACE16K. In both cases, as in other related chips the architecture includes a core array of interconnected elementary processing units, surrounded by a global circuitry.

Large-scale networks of integrated wireless sensors and actuators are becoming increasingly tractable. Advances in hardware technology and engineering design have led to dramatic reductions in size, power consumption, and cost for digital circuitry, wireless communications, and MEMS. This enables very compact, autonomous, and mobile nodes, each containing one or more sensors and actuators, computation and communication capabilities, and a power supply. Networking is a crucial ingredient to harness these capabilities into a complete system. While wireless sensor networks have been studied for about a decade, their extension with actuators is a more recent thrust of research that greatly enhances their capabilities and range of applications, at the cost of requiring closed control loops that can cause instability and are subject to delay constraints. This article provides an overview of existing and emerging technologies, pointing out the opportunities and challenges of mobile integrated sensor-actuator networks and their relation to CNNs.

Cellular neural networks (CNNs) are analog dynamic processors that have found several applications for the solution of complex computational problems. The mathematical model of a CNN consists in a large set of coupled nonlinear differential equations that have been mainly studied through numerical simulations; the knowledge of the dynamic behavior is essential for developing rigorous design methods and for establishing new applications. In most applications (such as image processing tasks) it is required that the CNN be stable, i.e. that after a transient all the trajectories tend to a constant value (with at most the exception of a set of measure zero). So far, three main CNN models have been proposed: the original Chua-Yang model, the full range model, that was exploited for VLSI implementation and the polynomial type model, which presents polynomial interactions among the cells. This manuscript is devoted to the study of the stability properties of polynomial type CNNs and to the comparison of such properties with those of Chua-Yang and of full range models.

In this paper a cellular neural network (CNN) based system to perform a real-time, parallel processing of magetoencephalographic data is proposed. In particular, a nonlinear approach to blind sources separation, instead of the linear procedure performed by independent component analysis, is introduced. Moreover, the characteristic spatial distribution of the cells in the CNN system has been exploited to reproduce the topology of the acquisition channels over the scalp.

In this paper we show that CNN-UM is an excellent tool for analyzing time series of multidimensional binary signals. The developed algorithm is dedicated to process electrophysiological multi-neuron recordings: our aim is to find specific multidimensional activity patterns, which may reflect higher order functional cell-assemblies. The analysis consists of two parts: the occurrences of different patterns are first counted, then the statistical significance of each occurrence frequency is calculated separately.

Some of the features of the biological retina can be modelled by a cellular neural network (CNN) composed of two dynamically coupled layers of locally connected elementary nonlinear processors. In order to explore the possibilities of these complex spatio-temporal dynamics in image processing, a prototype chip has been developed by implementing this CNN model with analog signal processing blocks. This chip has been designed in a 0.5/spl mu/m CMOS technology. Design challenges, trade-offs and the building blocks of such a high-complexity system (0.5 /spl times/ 10/sup 6/ transistors, most of them operating in analog mode) are presented in this paper.

This paper shows that the performance of multi-target tracking (MTT) systems can be significantly increased with stored program adaptive cellular array sensors. The primary motivation of the present work is to define a topographic microprocessor architecture for MTT with embedded sensors capable of operating in a process real-time manner. In the ongoing experiments it is assumed that the input data flow is acquired by a single array sensor and the data is processed on an adaptive CNN-UM architecture consisting of both a cellular nonlinear network (CNN) and digital signal processing (DSP) microprocessors. The algorithms designed for this combined hardware platform use adaptive multi-channel CNN solutions for instantaneous position estimation and morphological characterization of all visible targets and the DSP environment for distance calculation, gating, data association, track maintenance and dynamic target motion prediction. A special feature of the architecture is that it allows interactive communication between the sensor and the digital environment. The configuration of functional modules for various real-time applications is discussed. Using real-life video-flows, successful tracking of several maneuvering targets is demonstrated within the proposed adaptive multi-channel framework.
