Presented is a new 80 GOPS video-processing chip capable of performing video rate vision applications. These applications include real-time video stabilization, mosaicking, video fusion, motion-stereo and video enhancement. The new vision chip, code-named Acadia, is the result of over 15 years of research and development by Sarnoff in the areas of multi-resolution pyramid-based vision processing and efficient computational architectures. The Acadia chip represents the third generation of ASIC technology developed by Sarnoff, and incorporates the processing functions found in Sarnoff's earlier PYR-1 and PYR-2 pyramid processing chips as well as numerous other functions found in Sarnoff-developed video processing systems, including the PVT200. A demonstration board is being implemented and includes two video decoders, a video encoder and a PCI interface.
