Abstract

In this paper isreported a Cellular Nonlinear Network Universal Machine realizationwhere there are 176 × 144 active cells. The size of thenetwork is the standardized QCIF video image format and the designis aimed to be used in segmenting video images in future video applicationsrequiring very low bit-rate for image transmission. The achieved cell densityis 3000 cells/mm^2 with a 0.25 micron standard digital CMOS process.Different building blocks inside the cell are given in detail and alsothe other implemented circuitry is thoroughly discussed.The physical realization of the design is also reported.
