low-power smart imagers for vision-enabled sensor networks - jorge fernández-berni ricardo carmona-galán ángel rodríguez-vázquez

this book presents a comprehensive, systematic approach to the development of vision system architectures that employ sensory-processing concurrency and parallel processing to meet the autonomy challenges posed by a variety of safety and surveillance applications.  coverage includes a thorough analysis of resistive diffusion networks embedded within an image sensor array. this analysis supports a systematic approach to the design of spatial image filters and their implementation as vision chips in cmos technology. the book also addresses system-level considerations pertaining to the embedding of these vision chips into vision-enabled wireless sensor networks.
