Silicon ‘retina’ demonstrated on video
The sensor differs from conventional image sensors in that can record image change data – spiking data – at variable to high image rates.
Professor Delbruck, who studied at the California Institute of Technology under Carver Mead, contends that frame-only image sensing is a limited approach to machine vision. The ability to sense and output change data makes the image sensor similar in operation to the human retina and Professor Delbruck demonstrates silicon retina performance.

Professor Delbruck is also a co-founder of iniLabs GmbH, which offers 240 by 180 pixel resolution dynamic and active-pixel vision sensors.
