The speed with which technological evolution has reached increasingly extraordinary goals, in recent years, has now opened the doors to the possibility of develop more precise and refined devices with respect to the recent past. In this way, the research in the artificial intelligences field represents a fundamental joint for both possible future implications in the industrial development and in the health world. The purpose of this work is to build up a reconfigurable hardware solution, able to interface with modern vision sensors emulating the behaviour of the human retina. This final product, at the end of a close cooperation with the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (iit), is significantly useful to have a base-test for the optical flow computation.
