Abstract :
Summary form only given. We are developing smart sensors that perform retina-like functions using optically cascaded analog smart-pixel arrays. By performing operations such as center-surround or oriented edge detection in a fully parallel fashion before the image is digitized and passed on to a computer, such smart sensors can greatly reduce the computational overhead associated with preprocessing
