Hello all image processors! I recently did my thesis on visual
servoing and I came across a MOST excellent chip which performs
high speed correlation.

I recommend that all interested parties look at the SGS-THomson
STI3220 Motion Estimation Processor. It was featured in a paper
by some guys in Japan - but I don't have the reference on me.

It is normally used to compress video by checking out the motion
of sequential images. But it can perform template matching (correlation)
V.FAST. 

I'm not sure how much it costs, but it looks easy to use.

Just my $0.05 worth. There are no $0.02 pieces in OZ!
