Vision Perception Unit: Next-Generation Smart CMOS Image Sensor
2022 IEEE Hot Chips 34 Symposium (HCS)(2022)
摘要
As we reach the end of Moore’s Law and Dennard Scaling, it has become highly desirable to design a highly integrated and optimized pipeline specifically for computer vision. A new generation of integrated "smart" visual processors that streamline an end-to-end optimized visual information acquisition and processing pipeline (VIAPP) becomes necessary to lower the cost, power consumption, and latency.We describe a new paradigm for VIAPP as Vision Perception Unit (VPU), wherein electric signals generated by photons are amplified before converting to the digital signals to emulate an initial layer of a convolutional neural network (CNN). The outputs from these layers are then converted to digital signals and processed by following layers of a deep CNN.
