  • Abstract
    This paper addresses a CMOS vision sensor with 176 × 120 pixels in standard 0.18 μm CMOS technology that computes the Gaussian pyramid. The Gaussian pyramid is extracted with a double-Euler switched-capacitor network, giving RMSE errors below 1.2% of full-scale value. The chip provides a Gaussian pyramid of 3 octaves with 6 scales each with an energy cost of 26.5 nJ at 2.64 Mpx/s.
