Neuromorphic Vision Sensor for Image Pre-processing

Conventional digital image sensor generates large redundant data and occupy huge storage space with high power consumption. By adopting an optoelectronic memory synaptic device, this novel neuromorphic vision sensor has the potential to help solve this problem through direct image pre-processing at the sensing devices. This technology incorporates directly image storage and pre-processing functions into image sensors, achieving a breakthrough in hardware-based artificial vision. In addition, it can be beneficial for the future development of edge computing and largely reduce the image processing load at the cloud.
