We have developed a prototype of a compact integrated visual sensor which detects direction and velocity of motion on a focal plane in a wide brightness range in real time with a newly devised motion measurement method. The sensor is composed of a lens and a single-chip very large scale integration whose die size is 2 mm /spl times/ 2 mm that was fabricated with a 1.5-/spl mu/ standard CMOS process. The spatial resolution is 10 /spl times/ 2. As a result of performance evaluation of the prototype sensor, it was confirmed that the sensor can detect motion direction and velocity up to an on-chip image velocity of 100 mm/s in a response time of 10 /spl mu/s under an illuminance range between 100 and 100,000 lux. Furthermore, we have demonstrated effectiveness of the visual sensor by applying the sensor to running vehicle detection on a road and blind-corner monitoring at a road junction.
