From Photons to Decisions: The CMOS Challenge

Abstract—This talk has different objectives related to the design of vision systems on-chip:

• Placing the development of vision systems-on-chip in the scenario of technology scaling and application-driven
  technology evolution,

• Making an overview of the historical developments regarding vision system chip design in Seville; and the most
  important milestones associated to these developments,

• Making a classification of the different vision system-on-chip architectures depending upon where the border
  between analog and digital is placed,

• Identifying the most important challenges related to the incorporation of either analog storage or storage or both
  right to the sensory plane,

• Summarizing the most important features of the newest pre-processors designed in Seville.
