Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A vision chip implemented with an adaptation mechanism inspired from the retina was designed. The chip consists of analog CMOS line sensors in which random variations of the offset voltage of amplifiers are compensated. The chip carries out ∇^2G-like operation on input images in parallel manner with the Mexican hat type receptive field and the size of the receptive field can be controlled by external voltage signals. Accordingly, the chip can extract different Spatial frequency components of input images using the external signals.
