A parallel VLSI implementation of Viterbi algorithm for accelerated word recognition

Abstract

A hardware VLSI implementation of the Viterbi algorithm is presented. The Viterbi algorithm is used to solve a word recognition problem using a hidden Markov model. In order to accelerate the speed of computation for real-time word recognition, the inherent parallelism in the recursion step of the algorithm is exploited. Details of the hardware implementation and experimental results are discussed.< >
