• abstract: Modem CMOS semiconductor technology makes it possible to integrate photosensitive, analog and digital electronic functionality on the same "smart image sensor" chip or even in "smart pixels". In this way, highly functional pixels can be realized with a performance that is either difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional photosensors. Examples given include smart pixels carrying out linear transforms, exhibiting a dynamic range of >160 dB, measuring distances with centimeter precision by exploiting the optical time-of-flight principle, implementing optically addressed programmable gate arrays, enabling real-time low-coherence optical tomography for medical and technical applications, and performing basic machine vision tasks with the ultimate goal of realizing "seeing chips".
