Abstract

Application examples of a fully-programmable analogic focal plane array processor are introduced. One mixed-signal sensory/processing chip is presented, which is capable of capturing, processing, and evaluating over 10,000 images in a second. Morphological analysis of silhouettes and sparks were carried out and real-time decision making was performed running at this extraordinary high frame-rate.
