Abstract :
Lodging a general enough digital processing element (PE) in each pixel of a CMOS imager aims at getting a programmable artificial retina (PAR) that can support fast, compact, low power and low cost vision. Using original architecture and circuit techniques, we have designed and operated a 128×128 PAR capable of grey-level image processing and pattern recognition with not even 50 transistors per PE
