Abstract
A pair of computational sensors that capitalize on the offer of "sensing and computation at the focal plane" provided by CMOS VLSI technologies is presented. The trade-offs between application and general-purpose implementations are explored. It is shown that high definition imaging is not incompatible with focal-plane processing as has been generally thought. Furthermore, it is illustrated that high performance image processing can be integrated with the sensing layer for a "System-On-a-Chip" architecture.
