3-D Stacked Image Sensor With Deep Neural Network Computation

This paper investigates the power and performance trade-offs associated with integrating deep neural network (DNN) computation in an image sensor. The paper presents the design of Neurosensor-a CMOS image sensor with 3-D stacking of pixel array, read-out circuits, memory, and computing logic for DNN. The analysis shows integrating DNN reduces transmit latency (and energy), but at the expense of pr...
