Collective analogue computation in smart imaging sensors

Abstract

The understandable recent trend in sensor design has been to exploit the rapid advance in digital electronics to reduce reliance on analogue circuits. In contrast to this general trend some researchers have been inspired by biological systems to design smart imaging sensors based upon collective analogue computation in networks of resistors. This has resulted in sensor designs which efficiently extract information from a large volume of data whilst reducing manufacturing costs by improving yield.
