Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The visual scene in the physical world integrates multidimensional information (spatial, temporal, polarization, spectrum and so on) and typically shows unstructured characteristics. Conventional image sensors cannot process this multidimensional vision data, creating a need for vision sensors that can efficiently extract features from substantial multidimensional vision data. Vision sensors are able to transform the unstructured visual scene into featured information without relying on sophisticated algorithms and complex hardware. The response characteristics of sensors can be abstracted into operators with specific functionalities, allowing for the efficient processing of perceptual information. In this Review, we delve into the hardware implementation of multidimensional vision sensors, exploring their working mechanisms and design principles. We exemplify multidimensional vision sensors built on emerging devices and silicon-based system integration. We further provide benchmarking metrics for multidimensional vision sensors and conclude with the principle of device-system co-design and co-optimization. This Review provides a framework for processing multidimensional vision information at the sensory level and illustrates the working mechanisms as well as design principles of hardware implementations.
