What is bio-inspired vision?
Bio-inspired vision systems aim to emulate the way nature does vision, completely overthrowing traditional machine vision architectures used for the past 50 years.
Biological vision systems are driven and controlled by what is happening within the scene in view, and not, like traditional image sensors, by artificially created timing and control signals that have no relation whatsoever to the source of the visual information and its dynamics. Translating the frameless paradigm of biological vision to artificial imaging systems implies that control over the acquisition of visual information is no longer being imposed externally to an array of pixels but the decision making is transferred to the single pixel that handles its own information individually.
