Abstract
Processing images where they are sensed to retain and transmit only some more meaningful information with respect to the current vision task, so do artificial retinas. This concept, of which the first outcomes have only reached the market recently, amounts to associate analog or digital information processing structures to each photosensitive device of the imager. The focal plane thus embeds massively parallel and cellular SIMD architectures for artificial vision, one peculiarity of which is the extreme compactness. This paper reviews the different approaches that have been studied worldwide during the past ten years.
