A 201.4 GOPS real-time multi-object recognitionprocessor is presented with a three-stage pipelined architecture.Visual perception based multi-object recognition algorithm isapplied to give multiple attentions to multiple objects in the inputimage. For human-like multi-object perception, a neural perceptionengine is proposed with biologically inspired neural networksand fuzzy logic circ
