Development Of An Artificial Vision System For Motion Detection

这项工作将产生更广泛的影响，超越神经生理学特定领域的进步，因为它的目的是在计算机模型和随后的硅芯片中产生一个简单，强大的速度估计器。我们已经证明了将我们的基本初步模型转移到超大规模集成电路芯片上的可行性。根据国家研究重点3（前沿技术），4（国防技术）和2（促进和保持良好的健康），我们的工作在国防和民用角色的微型自主系统领域有应用，包括微型无人机和防撞探测器，而从长远来看，它将作为设计植入式人工眼睛的基础。

This work will have a broader impact beyond the advancement of a particular area of neurophysiology since it aims to produce a simple, robust velocity estimator in computer models and subsequently in silicon chips. We have already demonstrated the feasibility of transferring our basic preliminary models onto VLSI chips. Consistent with National Research Priorities 3 (Frontier Technologies), 4 (Defence Technologies) & 2 (Promoting and Maintaining Good Health) our work has applications in the area of miniature autonomous systems in defence and civilian roles, including miniature unmanned aerial vehicles and collision avoidance detectors, while in the longer term it will serve as the basis for designing implantable artificial eyes.
