Key Technologies for Smart Vision Sensors

Abstract

Today, the performance of CMOS image sensors exceeds the capabilities of the human eye and can provide more immersive experiences as a result. In addition, the image sensors for sensing can digitize various other kinds of information than typical 2-dimensional images where applications such as authentication, recognition, autonomous machine control, and wireless products further process this useful and efficient information. These latest vision sensors enhance the quality of services and the evolution of image sensing systems grow into a broader information conversion tool. In this talk, the requirements and use-cases for smart vision sensors will be discussed. The key technologies and performance of event-driven sensors for computer vision applications, event-based sensors for industrial automation, and intelligent vision sensors for smart city will be demonstrated. Finally, our vision of how the upcoming combination of Smart Vision Sensors and Artificial Intelligence technologies will profoundly influence our lifestyle will be introduced.
