A CCD/CMOS image sensor, which can estimate in real time the 2D motion
of a scene directly focused on it, consists of four 30-pixel linear i
mage sensors, each associated with a CCD analogue processor array whic
h computes the spatial correlation between two subsequent images. The
chip can cover a focal plane velocity range from 0-+/-3000 pixel-shift
s s(-1) and dissipates 100 mW with a 10 V power supply.
