摘要:
A pixel circuit for detecting time-dependent visual data comprises a photo sensing device detecting a light intensity and generating a signal representing the detected light intensity. The pixel circuit further comprises: - a voltage amplifier (3) configured for amplifying the signal representing the detected light intensity (V ph ) and generating an amplified signal (V o ), the amplified signal being generated by taking into account a control signal (V qDC ) which shifts an input voltage offset of said voltage amplifier, - a hysteresis comparing module (4) configured for comparing the amplified signal to at least one threshold value (θo+, θo- ) and to a reference value (V ref ) and for generating at least one output signal (V o +, V o -;Vo 1+ , V o1- ) based on said comparison, and - a feedback control module configured for generating said control signal of said voltage amplifier based on said at least one output signal generated by said hysteresis comparing module.

The invention relates to a method and a device for detecting the temporal variation of the light intensity in a matrix of photosensors, comprising a matrix of pixels, a block for the automatic adjustment of the amplification of the photocurrent, and an arbitrating and event-encoding block. Each pixel comprises a photosensor that generates a photocurrent, an adjustable gain current mirror connected to the outlet of the photosensor, a transimpedance amplifier arranged at the outlet of the current mirror, optionally at least one amplification circuit arranged at the outlet of the transimpedance amplifier, and capacitors and detectors of thresholds for determining whether the output voltage exceeds a higher threshold or drops below a lower threshold in order to generate an event in the pixel.

The invention relates to a low-mismatch and low-consumption transimpedance gain circuit for temporally differentiating photo-sensing systems in dynamic vision sensors, which uses at least one photodiode and at least two in-series transistors, each of the transistors being connected in diode configuration and being positioned at the output of the photodiode. The output current from the photodiode flows through the drain-source channels of the transistors and the source of the last transistor in series is connected to a voltage selected from ground voltage, a constant voltage or a controlled voltage.

The invention solves the technical problem associated with finding a way of making contributions as if using dynamic synapses, but using the simplest neural circuits possible, such as with instantaneous integration synapses. In this way, each neuron would be capable of making the correct decision, thereby allowing correct recognition on the part of the neural network. For this purpose, each input pulse is replaced with a train of "r" pulses and the "weight" value is attenuated by a value in the vicinity of "r". The "r" pulses are spaced apart for a characteristic time. The spacing of the "r" pulses may or may not be equidistant. Consequently, if a front of simultaneous pulses arrives at the neuron, originating from multiple neurons in the preceding layer, the trains of pulses are interleaved with one another and they all contribute to the decision of the neuron as to whether or not it should be activated.
