Low Power Image Processing: Analog Versus Digital Comparison

— In this paper, a programmable analog retina is presented and compared with state of the art MPU for embedded imaging applications. The comparison is based on the energy requirement to implement the same image processing task. Results showed that analog processing requires lower power consumption than digital processing. In addition, the execution time is shorter since the size of the retina is reasonably large.
