Researchers from Kingston University are working on a virtual image system that would act as an artificial eye of sorts. The project is funded by EPSRC, The three-year £1.3m project, which also involves King’s College London and University College London, will explore potential applications of newly developed “neuromorphic” sensors.
the neuromorphic sensors that are being developed for the project are much closer to the human eye. The sensor works by sampling different sections of a scene at a different rate so that what is being captured is more dynamic. This is far different from current cameras that capture a series of still images, which uses more power to process and record
The greatest benefit to the new sensors is the energy efficiency which makes them very useful for many other tasks such as surveillance and robot image processing. The team will also be looking at how the device can be integrated into the internet of things. Backers are firms Samsung, Ericsson and Thales, as well as semiconductor company Mediatek and neuromorphic sensor specialist iniLabs.
