The paper proposes semiconducting photodetectors for fast images recognition. Photodetector is illuminated simultaneously with two beams of " intrinsic" light. One of the beams carries image of the reference object the other provides image of the current object. While the images are identical the photoresponse turns to be maximum. Photodetector represents itself a processor which multiplies the the corresponding elements of these images and integrates the result over the square. Photodetector is a plane-parallel plate of crystal with high resistance (GaAs, CdTe) with a photosensitive n -p junction at one side and Shottky barrier (optical detecting medium) at the other one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
