Abstract :
An operational vision-chip prototype with a wide-range of potential applications in artificial-vision systems is presented. Its functionality includes concurrent image-transduction, programmable image-processing, image-storage, and algorithmic control over a network of 20×22 identical cells. The prototype has been designed and manufactured in 0.8 μm CMOS standard technology, and has a total area of 30 mm2. Experimental results are reported
