Abstract
There exist important problems that require the measurement of very fast motion. Common techniques for motion estimation based on sequences of video images usually fail to deliver the correct results for such problems due to the low video rate. We present an analog VLSI based system that determines motion in real-time. We demonstrate the performance of that system for the case of measuring the rotation speed of a fast rotating platform.
