Abstract
The recent advances in integration technology for microelectronic circuitry will provide unprecedented systems capabilities in the upcoming decade. Among the most significant aspects of these systems will be their increasing “intelligence,” based on their manipulation of a variety of sensory data. Presently, the impressive advances in image understanding technology for visible, infrared, and synthetic array radar data provide added impetus to the development of truly autonomous systems. With the impending advent of these systems, it is crucially important to understand the impact that the new integration technologies will have on the necessary hardware. Furthermore, how the resulting systems may best be made to serve the requirements of each intended application must be understood. The computational requirements of autonomous systems based on image understanding are examined, and how those requirements might be satisfied by a cellular machine employing three-dimensional microelectronic technology is demonstrated.
