Neuromorphic Vision Chip NeuroEye Released: Human-Eye Dynamic Range on a Single Chip
Intel releases NeuroEye neuromorphic vision chip with 140dB dynamic range at just 15 milliwatts power consumption.
Neuromorphic Vision Chip NeuroEye Released: Human-Eye Dynamic Range on a Single Chip
Intel released the NeuroEye neuromorphic vision chip on April 9, featuring an event-driven asynchronous computing architecture. The chip achieves a dynamic range of 140dB—comparable to the human eye—while consuming only 15 milliwatts.
NeuroEye contains 1.2 million bio-inspired photoreceptor units that independently respond to light changes. Unlike traditional CMOS sensors capturing 30 full frames per second, NeuroEye outputs data only when pixel brightness changes, dramatically reducing data volume and power consumption.
Intel's Neuromorphic Computing Lab lead Dr. Mike Davies stated: "NeuroEye isn't a better camera—it's an entirely new type of visual sensor. It gives machines perception capabilities approaching biological vision for the first time."
First customers include Tesla and DJI, with initial applications in autonomous driving and drone obstacle avoidance.
