Abstract

In this paper we discuss applications of the Connection Machine to various robot vision problems. In particular we investigate backpropagation used for terrain typing and as part of a model-based computer vision system. Mapping the backpropagation algorithm onto the fine grain architecture of the CM-2 is sketched. We discuss the interplay between data-level and control-level parallelism in model-based vision systems.
