Abstract :
This paper presents a smart image sensor oriented to the optical impulse detection. The main advantage of this smart sensor is that with incorporated analog processor the effective temporal reception window can be much smaller then that of classic CCD one. This ability will facilitate some artificial vision problems in the nature environment by using fast sequenced structured light in order to eliminate the influence of the ambient light. The main application is obstacle detection in future intelligent automobiles or similar autonomous mobile robots
