Abstract
Light adaptive algorithms/architectures are proposed for regularization vision chips. The adaptation mechanisms allow the regularization parameters to change in an adaptive manner in accordance with the light intensity of given images. This is achieved by adaptively changing the conductance values associated with massively parallel resistive networks. The algorithms/architectures are inspired by the adaptation mechanisms of the retinal horizonal cells of the lower vertebrates.
