Cutting-edge vision chip brings "human eye-like" perception to machines


Inspired by the human visual system, a vision chip with primitive-based complementary pathways is developed to overcome the power and bandwidth wall of vision systems, achieving fast, precise, robust and high-dynamic-range sensing efficiently in the open world.

We demonstrate the integration of a Tianmouc chip into an autonomous driving system, showcasing its abilities to enable accurate, fast and robust perception, even in challenging corner cases on open roads. Posch, C., Matolin, D. & Wohlgenannt, R. A QVGA 143 dB dynamic range frame-free PWM image sensor with lossless pixel-level video compression and time-domain CDS. Lefebvre, M., Moreau, L., Dekimpe, R. & Bol, D. 7.7 A 0.2-to-3.6TOPS/W programmable convolutional imager SoC with in-sensor current-domain ternary-weighted MAC operations for feature extraction and region-of-interest detection.
