The Design of a Computer Vision Sensor Based on a Low-Power Edge Detection Circuit by Suhyeon Lee, Yu Chan Yun, Seung Min Heu, Kyu Hyun Lee, Seung Joon Lee, Kyungmin Lee, Jiin Moon, Hyuna Lim, Taeun Jang, Minkyu Song, Soo Youn Kim

“…By utilizing the characteristics of the edge that can obtain a 1-bit image, the edge mask and thresholding operations are performed simultaneously during the A/D conversion process, thereby reducing memory capacity along with a high number of frames per second (FPS). Additionally, by implementing a 1-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) instead of a high-resolution ADC and counter through the 1-bit edge data obtained from the edge mask operation, both static and dynamic power consumption are reduced. …”
