An important milestone in AI4IV’s journey was the creation of the FlyEye® Vision Sensor Prototype, developed to validate the core innovation behind our technology: self-adapting photoreceptors.
The prototype was fabricated as a 1 mm² silicon die using LFoundry 110 nm CIS technology. It implements a 50×50 array of FlyEye® photoreceptors, each built from basic 8 μm-pitch photodiodes combined with simple analog memories.

Although this first device was low resolution and not designed for real-world applications, it achieved its purpose: it demonstrated that FlyEye® photoreceptors could automatically adapt to an exceptionally broad range of light intensities in the same scene, producing high-quality, artefact-free images regardless of lighting conditions.
This proof of concept was a crucial validation step in the FlyEye® roadmap, confirming that our bio-inspired approach works in silicon and paving the way for scaling to much higher resolutions suitable for practical use.
With this validation in place, AI4IV has a solid foundation for developing the next generation of vision sensors, devices capable of delivering the adaptability of the prototype together with the performance required for advanced intelligent vision applications.
