Image sensors that behave like biological retinas - SEEBETTER

Biological visual organs have unique capabilities for the processing of information not matched by electronic devices.The SEEBETTER Future and Emerging Technologies project works in finding ways to bridge this gap and the development of "silicon retinas".

In a way, the more image sensors evolve, the more they stay the same. Imagine a security camera: it will generate huge amounts of data, even when there is nothing to film. Our eyes, on the other hand, have the ability to adapt the amount of data generated to perceived changes. If the amount of light stays the same, no data is generated. The SEEBETTER FET Proactive project team is looking to copy this unique feature in a novel silicon retina.
