CMOS Visual Motion Sensor with Temporal Averaging and Pixel Aggregation

چکیده
Visual monitoring with CMOS image sensors opens up a variety of new applications for wireless sensor nodes, ranging from military surveillance to in vivo molecular imaging. In particular, the ability to detect motion can enable more intelligent power management through on-demand duty cycling and reduced data-retention requirements. Conventional imager designs focus on achieving higher resolution, frame rate [1], or dynamic range [2], resulting in power consumption levels that are unsuitable for battery-powered wireless sensor nodes [3].

A Computational Image Sensor with Adaptive Pixel-Based Integration Time
An image sensor is proposed in which the pixel adapts its integration time to motion and light. The integration time of each pixel is shortened if motion is detected in the pixel or pixel intensity becomes saturated. The adaptivity of motion and light significantly enhances temporal resolution and dynamic range of the sensor. Because the integration time differs pixel-by-pixel, a scene containi...
متن کاملA Cmos Imager with On-chip Temporal Filtering for Motion Pre-processing
Robust motion detection algorithms such as the motion energy model require temporal filtering at the pixel level. We have designed and tested a CMOS imager with integrated, pixel-level temporal filtering necessary for motion detection. This temporal filtering enhances transients and provides a delayed and non-delayed channel for each pixel in the array. By varying bias currents on the chip, we ...

This paper describes the implementation of a CMOS image sensor that performs a two-way rectified temporal high-pass filtering operation on the incoming visual signal. The sensor adapts to background illuminance and responds to local positive and negative illuminance transients at separately coded terminals. The transients are converted into a stream of asynchronous binary pulses, which are mult...
متن کاملMotion Vision Sensor Architecture with Asynchronous Self - Signaling Pixels
A custom CMOS imager with integrated motion computation is described. The architecture is based on correlating in time moving edges. Edges are located in time by a custom sensor, and correlated in a coprocessing module. The sensor architecture is centered around a compact pixel with analog signal processing and digital self-signaling capabilities. The sensor pixels detect moving edges in the im...
