Air Force contracts for parallel image processor

Under a contract worth $737,000, Irvine Sensors (Costa Mesa, CA) will build a 50-GOP image processor for the Wright Patterson AFB (Dayton, OH). The add-in board will be used for image enhancement and will be delivered to the US Air Force. Capable of processing 1024 ¥ 1024 images in real time, the processor will use a custom version of Irvine`s three-dimensional artificial neural-network processor that has a parallel architecture.
