    摘要: A powerful, scaleable, and reconfigurable image processing system and method of processing data therein is described. This general purpose, reconfigurable engine with toroidal topology, distributed memory, and wide bandwidth I/O are capable of solving real applications at real-time speeds. The reconfigurable image processing system can be optimized to efficiently perform specialized computations, such as real-time video and audio processing. This reconfigurable image processing system provides high performance via high computational density, high memory bandwidth, and high I/O bandwidth. Generally, the reconfigurable image processing system and its control structure include a homogeneous array of 16 field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and 16 static random access memories (SRAM) arranged in a partial torus configuration. The reconfigurable image processing system also includes a PCI bus interface chip, a clock control chip, and a datapath chip. It can be implemented in a single board. It receives data from its external environment, computes correspondence, and uses the results of the correspondence computations for various post-processing industrial applications. The reconfigurable image processing system determines correspondence by using non-parametric local transforms followed by correlation. These non-parametric local transforms include the census and rank transforms. Other embodiments involve a combination of correspondence, rectification, a left-right consistency check, and the application of an interest operator.

    摘要: An interconnect array formed at least in part using repeated application of an interconnect pattern is described. The interconnect pattern has at least ten interconnect locations. One of the ten interconnect locations is for a power interconnect. Another one of the ten interconnect locations is for a ground interconnect. At least eight interconnect locations remaining are for additional interconnects. The at least eight remaining interconnect locations disposed around a medial region, where either the ground interconnect or the power interconnect is located in the medial region. An offset region having the one of either the ground interconnect or the power interconnect not in the medial region. The interconnect array is at least partially formed by repeated application of the interconnect pattern off-set from one another responsive to the offset region.

    摘要: A disclosed fluid purity monitoring system employs a network of preferably information-transmissive cables fixed in place within a body of fluid. Sensors sensitive to fluid impurities are supported at various places on the network. Data representative of impurity levels transmits to a collection point via the same cables at which the sensors are supported. One system employs at least two pluralities of sensors sensitive to different fluid impurities. Another system employs electrically conductive cables fixed in place substantially in a common plane, with some cables oriented substantially parallel to each other and intersecting other cables. In that system, the data transmits to the collection point via a separate electrical circuit for each one of the sensors. Each circuit includes a series connection of the pair of cables that intersect proximate to the sensor's support point on the network. Advantageous variations and methods are also disclosed.
