Abstract

In this paper, a CMOS retinal computational sensor for 2-D image tracking and velocity measuring is proposed. The proposed chip is attractive due to the fact that analog image processing circuits within a pixel are implemented by digital circuits. It can be integrated robustly and compactly. Based upon the device parameters of 0.35 μm 2P4M CMOS technology with 3 V power supply, all the functions and performance of the proposed CMOS retinal computational sensor for 2-D image tracking and velocity measuring are successfully tested and proven through SPICE simulations. The chip area is 2.34 × 2.33 mm². The proposed chip is suitable for robot tracking and 2-D image velocity measuring.
