Adaptive optoelectronic transistor for intelligent vision system

Abstract Recently, for developing neuromorphic visual systems, adaptive optoelectronic devices become one of the main research directions and attract extensive focus to achieve optoelectronic transistors with high performances and flexible functionalities. In this review, based on a description of the biological adaptive functions that are favorable for dynamically perceiving, filtering, and processing information in the varying environment, we summarize the representative strategies for achieving these adaptabilities in optoelectronic transistors, including the adaptation for detecting information, adaptive synaptic weight change, and history-dependent plasticity. Moreover, the key points of the corresponding strategies are comprehensively discussed. And the applications of these adaptive optoelectronic transistors, including the adaptive color detection, signal filtering, extending the response range of light intensity, and improve learning efficiency, are also illustrated separately. Lastly, the challenges faced in developing adaptive optoelectronic transistor for artificial vision system are discussed. The description of biological adaptive functions and the corresponding inspired neuromorphic devices are expected to provide insights for the design and application of next-generation artificial visual systems.
