The retina inspired approaching object detection algorithm — based on the recently identified Pvlab-5 ganglion cell — is a computationally easy segmentation free method. The original method can detect only the dark looming objects against bright background. This paper shows a modified algorithm, which can detect any looming and recessing objects against dark or bright background. Moreover, we show...
Many of the proposed and emerging nano-scale technologies simply cannot compete with CMOS in terms of energy efficiency for performing Boolean operations. However, the potential for these technologies to perform useful non-Boolean computations remains an opportunity to be explored. In this talk we examine the use of the resonance of coupled nano-scale oscillators as a primitive computational operator...
We present physics-based models for both individual and coupled spin torque nano oscillators (STNOs). Such STNOs may become as building blocks for CNN-like dynamic computing architectures. We discuss a hierarchy of models, extending from micromagnetic models, which include the detailed geometry and physics, to compact models, which are based on parameters extracted from the underlying physical description...
In this work, active wave simulation on Cellular Nonlinear Network was computed for path planning on the GPU of a NVIDIA GTX275 video card. In software part, QtOpenCL, which is a wrapper library of OpenCL, was used to make code portable for systems with different GPUs. We achieved promising results comparing to results achieved by both CPU and FPGA. We have implemented different hardware and software...
We present a deterministic continuous-time recurrent neural network similar to CNN models, which can solve Boolean satisfiability (k-SAT) problems without getting trapped in non-solution fixed points. The model can be implemented by analog circuits, in which case the algorithm would take a single operation: the template (connection weights) is set by the k-SAT instance and starting from any initial...
The aim of this paper is to discuss and compare several architectural possibilities for implementing a simulator for (ultra) sound propagation in a controlled environment (e.g. using specified obstacles and signal sources). Although initially such sound propagation simulators were designed to assist the design of robotic "ears" of autonomous agents trying to reconstruct an image of the environment,...
