Imec will manufacture the novel image chip on its 8-inch complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) line using a hybrid mix of analog and digital circuitry.
The European Union is aiming to revolutionize artificial vision for both man and machine with an imager that mimics the real-time spatial and temporal processing of biological retinas. The E.U. SeeBetter project combines the latest understanding of image processing in the biological retina with semiconductors structures that realize the same functions, enabling smarter imaging sensors that filter raw data with feature detection.
