In this paper we present the design of an ASIC chip for real-time image processing in industrial applications. The chip is a module of a system for the automatic surface inspection of mechanical parts: it implements the feed-forward phase of a neural network model (multi-layer perception with local connections) tuned to the specific application. The design has been performed in O.~~NTZ Cb40.5' technology using an approach based on high level transformations on the VHDL specifications. Special emphasis was given to achieve real-time speed. As a result, the architecture is based on a deep pipeline and the performance is beyond the real-time specifications (1).

Abstract
In this paper we present the design of an ASIC chip for real-time image processing in industrial applications. The chip is a module of a system for the automatic surface inspection of mechanical parts: it implements the feed-forward phase of a neural network model (multi-layer perception with local connections) tuned to the specific application. The design has been performed in O.~~NTZ Cb40.5' technology using an approach based on high level transformations on the VHDL specifications. Special emphasis was given to achieve real-time speed. As a result, the architecture is based on a deep pipeline and the performance is beyond the real-time specifications (1).
