INTEGRAL IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS AND METHOD Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G06K9/78 G06N3/06 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention based on use of photosensitive cells built or embedded in a transparent or semitransparent substrate or on a substrate, for example, glass or plastic. Substrate itself can work as an optical device which focuses incident photons associated with reflected image onto photosensitive elements. Digital memory neurons can be trained to recognise objects in accordance with incident photons. Photosensitive elements and elements of digital memory neurons can be combined with light-emitting elements controlled in accordance with recognised images. In one application intelligent light-emitting units emit light by monitoring surrounding area and (or) by adjusting light in accordance with surrounding space. In another application of intelligent display show image and (or) video, monitoring surrounding area and (or) change displayed images and (or) a video image in accordance with surrounding space.

EFFECT: technical result is creating an image recognition device having a sensitive area, directly embedded in a transparent or translucent material forming an optical interface.
