EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing

  Special Issue on
  Machine Perception on a Chip

Perception is where different functional modules?sensing,
computing, information processing, and machine
interfacing?merge in different technologies?MEMS, optics, and
semiconductors, etc. It is one of the most active areas in
both academia and industry. Perception is what differentiates
a smart computer and system from a standard number crunching
and storage machine. Perception is in its way to have more
intelligence in future machines.

With the emergence of the "System-on-a-Chip" technology,
perception systems have found a natural technological fit
where a heterogeneous system?both in function and
technology?can be implemented in a single chip. Although
"perception on a chip" is not a reality, yet, several
research groups have been working towards this goal.

The focus of the proposed special issue is to bring to the
research and development community the latest research
results and efforts at different levels: technologies, design
paradigms, system integration, software-hardware codesign,
high level architectures, sensors technologies, etc. The
proposed issue will be a very useful resource for people who
are just starting in this area, and will provide an update to
those who have been working in the area. It will address some
of the challenges these researchers are facing. Several
examples of existing systems and prototypes will be included.

Many of these related issues have been the scope of a
biannual workshop on "Computer Architectures for Machine
Perception (CAMP)." The first CAMP workshop was held in Paris
in 1991 (chair: Prof Zavidovique), the second one was held in
New Orleans in 1993 (chairs: Profs. Bayoumi and Larry Davis).
It was held in Italy (twice) and Boston. CAMP '2003 took
place in New Orleans, May 2003 (chair: Prof. Guna
Seetharaman). The special issue will also feature extended
versions of papers presented at CAMP '2003.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 o Smart sensing
 o Image understanding
 o Recognition
 o Configurable and FPGA-based perception architecture
 o Intelligent architecture
 o Network of sensors
 o Sensor fusion
 o Internet imaging
 o Motion and stereo vision
 o Active vision
 o Emerging technologies
 o Others
