Seeing and store changes in movement without a heavy data processing
Neuromorphic Vision device mimics the human eye’s ability to capture light and the brain’s ability to process that visual information
Researchers at the RMIT university invented a device that detects movements just like humans do with our eyes and brains.
This neurotrophic device is mimicking the analogue process of our eye and brain to detect movements. By using edge detection there is little need for data processing and power. After detecting the movement the event is stored as a memory – just like our brain.
“For robots working closely with humans in manufacturing or as a personal assistant, neuromorphic technology could enable more natural interactions by recognizing and reacting to human behavior with minimal delay,” Al-Hourani, Deputy Director of RMIT COMAS, said.
The little requirements for data processor and power current sensor detection and storage system use also means that the response time can improve. This might be interesting for automation, robotics and other systems that have human interaction.
“Neuromorphic vision systems are designed to use similar analogue processing to our brains, which can greatly reduce the amount of energy needed to perform complex visual tasks compared with digital technologies used today,” said Walia, Director of the RMIT Centre for Opto-electronic Materials and Sensors (COMAS).
