Low-power coprocessor for Haar-like feature extraction with pixel-based pipelined architecture

Intelligent analysis of image and video data requires image-feature extraction as an important processing capability for machine-vision realization. A coprocessor with pixel-based pipeline (CFEPP) architecture is developed for real-time Haar-like cell-based feature extraction. Synchronization with the image sensor’s pixel frequency and immediate usage of each input pixel for the feature-construction process avoids the dependence on memory-intensive conventional strategies like integral-image construction or frame buffers. One 180 nm CMOS prototype can extract the 1680-dimensional Haar-like feature vectors, applied in the speeded up robust features (SURF) scheme, using an on-chip memory of only 96 kb (kilobit). Additionally, a low power dissipation of only 43.45 mW at 1.8 V supply voltage is achieved during VGA video procession at 120 MHz frequency with more than 325 fps. The Haar-like feature-extraction coprocessor is further evaluated by the practical application of vehicle recognition, achieving the expected high accuracy which is comparable to previous work.
