Silicon Image Sensor that Computes


CAMBRIDGE, MA — As any driver knows, accidents can hap- pen in the blink of an eye — so when it comes to the camera sys- tem in autonomous vehicles, pro- cessing time is critical. The time that it takes for the system to snap an image and deliver the data to the microprocessor for image processing could mean the difference between avoiding an obstacle or getting into a major accident.


In-sensor image processing,

in which important features are extracted from raw data by the image sensor itself instead of the separate microprocessor, can speed up the visual processing. To date, demonstrations of in- sensor processing have been lim- ited to emerging research mate- rials which are, at least for now, difficult to incorporate into com- mercial systems.


Now, researchers from the


Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sci- ences (SEAS) have developed the first in-sensor processor that

conductors ITHACA, NY — A household mi- crowave oven modified by a Cor- nell Engineering professor is helping to cook up the next gen- eration of cellphones, computers and other electronics after the invention was shown to over- come a major challenge faced by the semiconductor industry. The prototype was built by James Hwang, a research professor in the Department of Materials Sci- ence and Engineering. Producing the materials


that make up transistors and other microchip components is similar to baking, in that materi- al ingredients must be mixed to-
