Abstract Vertical three-dimensional (3D) integration is a highly attractive strategy to integrate
a large number of transistor devices per unit area. This approach has emerged to …

Log-polar imaging consists of a type of methods that represent visual information with a
space-variant resolution inspired by the visual system of mammals. It has been studied for …

Gaze-contingent multiresolutional displays (GCMRDs) center high-resolution information on
the user's gaze position, matching the user's area of interest (AOI). Image resolution and …

Smart vision systems will be an inevitable component of future intelligent systems.
Conventional vision systems, based on the system level integration (or even chip level …

A silicon retina chip with a central foveal region for smooth-pursuit tracking and a peripheral
region for saccadic target acquisition is presented. The foveal region contains a 9/spl times/9 …

When we gaze a scene, our visual acuity is maximal at the fixation point (imaged by the
fovea, the central part of the retina) and decreases rapidly towards the periphery of the …

A foveated display. The display includes a computer. The display includes a detailed
imaging element for imaging a detailed portion of an image from the computer. The imaging …

A review of current trends in biologically based computational visual sensors, also known as
neuromorphic sensors, is presented. Neuromorphic sensors attempt to mimic the sensing …

The present invention provides a method for obtaining a composite image, which performs a
mathematically correct image-processing on images obtained by wide-angle lenses which …

Animal visual systems have solved the problem of limited resources by allocating more
processing power to central than peripheral vision. Foveation considerably reduces the …
