I've got the article:
Inoue, Hirochika; Tachikawa, Tetsuya and Inaba, Masayuki (1992), 
"Robot Vision System with a Correlation Chip for Real-Time Tracking, Optical
Flow and Depth Map Generation", Proceedings of the 1992 IEEE International
Conference on Robotics and Automation, Nice, France - May 1992. pp1621-1626.

Hope this helps!
