This project will develop foundations for novel design of low-power and high-resolution image sensors, beyond the state-of-the-art. The potential outcome of this research is two orders of magnitude power reduction and ability to achieve real-time image reconstruction. The research activities have the potential to make significant impact on number of different industries. Image sensors have been used in extremely wide range of applications to directly enhance the quality of human life, including communication, entertainment, security, medical diagnosis and many others. The PI's will involve a number of graduate and undergraduate students from under-represented groups. This project will systematically investigate the optimal designs of all major blocks used in image sensors. The project aims to develop novel design ideas for compressive sensing, resulting in potential order-of-magnitude improvements in trade-offs between energy use and performance. The research will be conducted within the I/UCRC Center for Embedded Systems and the project has Center's strong support, and active participation from its member companies, which will pave the way for the transition of the project outcomes into commercial products that will benefit society at large.

该项目将为最先进的低功率和高分辨率图像传感器的新型设计开发基础。这项研究的潜在结果是降低功率的两个顺序和实现实时图像重建的能力。研究活动有可能对不同行业的数量产生重大影响。图像传感器已在非常广泛的应用中使用，以直接提高人类生活的质量，包括沟通，娱乐，安全，医疗诊断等。 PI将涉及来自代表性不足的小组的许多研究生和本科生。该项目将系统地研究图像传感器中所有主要块的最佳设计。该项目旨在开发新颖的设计思想，以进行压缩感测，从而在能源使用和性能之间取舍的损失顺序改善。该研究将在I/UCRC嵌入式系统中心进行，该项目中心的大力支持，并积极参与其成员公司，这将为将项目成果的过渡到将使社会受益的商业产品铺平道路。
