Abstract
Segmentation is a basic problem in computer vision. The tiny-tanh network, a continuous-time network that segments scenes based upon intensity, motion, or depth is introduced. The tiny- tanh algorithm maps naturally to analog circuitry since it was inspired by previous experiments with analog VLSI segmentation hardware. A convex Lyapunov energy is utilized so that the system does not get stuck in local minima. No annealing algorithms of any kind are necessary- -a sharp contrast to previous software/hardware solutions of this problem.
