Scientists create a ‘machine eye’ that may be faster than human vision

12 Feb Scientists create a ‘machine eye’ that may be faster than human vision

(Oilandgaspress) -] Chinese scientists have helped create a new safety system for automated driving systems that can sometimes react to hazards more quickly than the human brain.

The study details how scientists from China, Britain, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, and the United States built a hardware-based “reflex” designed to speed up automated driving decisions. A 400 percent speed boost in visual processing could significantly improve safety for self-driving cars, drones, and robots.

For example, an automated vehicle travelling at 80km/h (50mph) will take half a second to respond to a hazard in front of it, compared with the 0.15 seconds the human brain needs to react – meaning the vehicle will have travelled another 13 metres (43 feet) before stopping.

In laboratory tests, the system processed motion data four times faster than current state-of-the-art algorithms. Under ideal conditions, it even exceeded human-level reaction performance.

The transistor can detect image changes in just 100 microseconds, much faster than human perception. It can retain motion information for more than 10,000 seconds and operate for over 8,000 cycles without performance loss.

Once a frame is captured, the chip ignores the full image and registers only moving objects. These selected signals are then passed to standard computer vision algorithms for deeper analysis. According to the study, this approach is more than 10 times faster than conventional image processing methods.
