Low level vision for feature detection, motion analysis, or image segmentation is typically performed in parallel and is computationally intensive. The dynamic nature of scenes and the requirements for real time processing place further demands upon visual sensing. Dynamical systems which mimic the complexity of natural scenes provide an alternative to traditional computer vision approaches. However the design of such systems and the synthesis of complex, nonlinear dynamical systems by the interactions of simpler, low order systems remains a critical problem. One approach to this problem is to use the relative simplicity of Chua's circuit to provide a convenient model for the dynamics and bifurcation phenomena in more complex systems. In this paper the normal form is derived for Chua's circuit in which the piecewise-linear function is replaced by a cubic nonlinearity. A partial bifurcation analysis of the normal form equations is then used to show how Chua's system can be made to track the motion of low level image features through parameter variations in the bifurcation function.

In this paper, we consider an infinite-dimensional extension of Chua's circuit (Fig. 1) obtained by replacing the left portion of the circuit composed of the capacitance C2 and the inductance L by a lossless transmission line as shown in Fig. 2. As we shall see, if the remaining capacitance C1 is equal to zero, the dynamics of this so-called time-delayed Chua's circuit can be reduced to that of a scalar nonlinear difference equation. After deriving the corresponding 1-D map, it will be possible to determine without any approximation the analytical equation of the stability boundaries of cycles of every period n. Since the stability region is nonempty for each n, this proves rigorously that the time-delayed Chua's circuit exhibits the "period-adding" phenomenon where every two consecutive cycles are separated by a chaotic region.

More than 200 papers, two special issues (Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers, March, June, 1993, and IEEE Trans. on Circuits and Systems, vol. 40, no. 10, October, 1993), an International Workshop on Chua’s Circuit: chaotic phenomena and applica tions at NOLTA’93, and a book (edited by R.N. Madan, World Scientific, 1993) on Chua’s circuit have been published since its inception a decade ago. This review paper attempts to present an overview of these timely publications, almost all within the last six months, and to identify four milestones of this very active research area. An important milestone is the recent fabrication of a monolithic Chua’s circuit. The robustness of this IC chip demonstrates that an array of Chua’s circuits can also be fabricated into a monolithic chip, thereby opening the floodgate to many unconventional applications in information technology, synergetics, and even music. The second milestone is the recent global unfolding of Chua’s circuit, obtained by adding a linear resistor in series with the inductor to obtain a canonical Chua’s circuit— now generally referred to as Chua’s oscillator. This circuit is most significant because it is structurally the simplest (it contains only 6 circuit elements) but dynamically the most complex among all nonlinear circuits and systems described by a 21-parameter family of continuous odd-symmetric piecewise-linear vector fields. The third milestone is the recent discovery of several important new phenomena in Chua’s circuits, e.g., stochastic resonance, chaos-chaos type intermittency, 1/f noise spectrum, etc. These new phenomena could have far-reaching theoretical and practical significance. The fourth milestone is the theoretical and experimental demonstration that Chua’s circuit can be easily controlled from a chaotic regime to a prescribed periodic or constant orbit, or it can be synchronized with 2 or more identical Chua’s circuits, operating in an oscillatory, or a chaotic regime. These recent breakthroughs have ushered in a new era where chaos is deliberately created and exploited for unconventional applications, e.g. secure communication.
