Built-In Neural Hardware Allows Image Recognition in Nanoseconds

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have developed an image sensor that can be trained to recognize (in a matter of nanoseconds) certain objects. The image sensor is made from a 2D material: tungsten diselenide, which is composed of only three atomic layers. The individual photodetectors, the “pixels” of the camera system, are all connected to a small number of output elements that provide the result of object recognition. The chip represents an artificial neural network capable of learning. The data does not have to be read out and processed by a...Read full article

    photodetector
    A photodetector, also known as a photosensor or photodiode, is a device that detects and converts light into an electrical signal. Photodetectors are widely used in various applications, ranging from simple light sensing to more complex tasks such as imaging and communication. Key features and principles of photodetectors include: Light sensing: The primary function of a photodetector is to sense or detect light. When photons (particles of light) strike the active area of the photodetector,...
