چکیده

The rods and cones of a human retina are constantly sensing and transmitting the light in the form of spikes to the cortex of the brain in order to reproduce an image in the brain. Delbruck’s lab has designed and manufactured several generations of spike based image sensors that mimic the human retina. In this paper we present an exhaustive timing analysis of the Address-EventRepresentation (AER) output of a 64x64 pixels silicon retinomorphic system. Two different scenarios are presented in order to achieve the maximum frequency of light changes for a pixel sensor and the maximum frequency of requested directions on the output AER. Results obtained are 100 Hz and 1.66 MHz in each case respectively. We have tested the upper spin limit and found it to be approximately 6000rpm (revolutions per minute) and in some cases with high light contrast lost events do not exist.

Retinomorphic Vision Systems I: Pixel Design

I present and analyze test results from circuits that perform all four major operations performed by biological reti-nae using neurobiological principles: (1) continuous sensing for detection, (2) local automatic gain control for ampli-cation, (3) spatiotemporal bandpass ltering for prepro-cessing, and (4) adaptive sampling for quantization. In the retinomorphic system that I describe, all thes...
