“…The highest efficiency is achieved by sensors that utilize data redundancy within the sensor array (focal-plane compression), whereby compression is performed during the image acquisition process. An exhaustive research in exploiting spatial-redundancy of images developed a variety of CMOS image sensors that perform different focal-plane algorithms such as predictive coding [3], [4], discrete-cosine transform [5], [6], waveletbased processing [7], [8], SPIHT algorithm [9], FBAR and QTD processing [10], and compressive acquisition or compressive sensing [11], [12]. The most promising concepts for exploiting temporal redundancy are mainly biologically inspired (e.g.…”
