Integrated Analog and Digital Processing Systems  

A quad-G4 processor implements a unique dynamic programming target detection approach fed by the analog motion energy computational system. This overall system is believed to be the world’s most powerful 4-D real-time application of dynamic programming for cluttered background target detection. The processor is also available in an open architecture for use by other spatio-temporal system developers. For example, the Dy4 G4 ring architecture platform, accommodating two highly capable Xilinx Virtex II FPGA’s, can run concurrent third party algorithms to make use of CSC’s real-time spatio-temporal processing. The entire system is integrated in a VME 64 backplane with RACE++ overlay for scene simulator or captive flight-testing.

  Integrated Focal Plane and Filtering Architectures

These multi-stacked analog VLSI image processors incorporate target discrimination capabilities using temporal high and low pass filtering nonlinear motion energy image processing techniques and detector non-uniformity data correction.

  Computational Sensors Corp. is currently developing the first 3-D multi-chip (layered) device to integrate analog sensor arrays in unclocked operation. This breakthrough concept provides total photon collection in continuous dataflow between sensor arrays and image processing arrays without the need for synchronously clocked multiplexed operations.
