Caladiom electro-optical sensor

The Caladiom, a long-range sensor for the detection and identification of mobile targets, was a digital electro-optical system in which each of 40,000 pixels had a dedicated 45-bit processor. The sensor had a programmable digital retina of 200 x 200 pixels. The detector array was controlled by an electronic architecture, which consumed 1.5 Watts of energy. The low power requirement was possible because processing was integrated with the detector array. The camera was designed to...
