Further Consideration of Parallel Image Recognition System Using Planar GRIN Microlens Array

Abstract

Optical parallel processing[1] is expected to be one of the powerful methods for dealing with a large amount of image information because of its very high processing speed and parallelism. To optically handle image information processing, image multiplexing is an indispensable technique. We proposed an image recognition system using planar GRIN microlenses[2] (PML) which utilizes the high density image multiplexing ability of PMLs.
