Research on Edge Detection Optical Computing based on Four Wave Mixing Effect
To address the bottlenecks of computational speed and high energy consumption in traditional edge detection
this study proposes an optical computing method for edge detection based on the Four Wave Mixing (FWM) effect.
【Methods】
2
This method uses the FWM effect to complete the multiplication operation of gradient calculation in edge detection
and then uses digital signal processing technology to complete the edge detection. To validate the method's processing speed and detection accuracy
a simulation platform capable of 10 Gbit/s high-speed image processing was established. The influence of carrier frequency offsets and convolution kernel types on detection performance was systematically investigated.
【Results】
2
The results demonstrate superior system performance
with an energy consumption of 0.25 pJ/bit and a latency of 0.98 μs
a 10 GHz frequency separation between the resulting signal and the kernel-carrying carrier led to significant spectral overlap
reducing the correlation coefficient to just 0.151 64. Furthermore
under specific interference conditions where the kernel carrier's frequency offset was twice that of the data carrier
using single-direction (horizontal or vertical) kernels caused severe disruption (correlation coefficient dropping to 0.249 9). In contrast
employing an omnidirectional kernel under the same conditions significantly enhanced the detection performance
achieving a correlation coefficient as high as 0.947 22.
【Conclusion】
2
This study demonstrates that the proposed method not only enables high-speed multiplication but also achieves higher detection accuracy through the rational configuration of carrier frequency offsets and optimization of convolution kernel selection.
