Future integrated microsystems will benefit significantlyfrom progress in the VLSI field. Two key elements will boostthe implementation of new micro-integrated architectures: progressin batch-manufactured silicon sensors and the introduction ofnew circuit techniques for designing interface circuits. Thesetwo factors will be essential in favoring the transition fromthe present research driven speculations to customer drivenactivities. This paper discusses the key issues in realizingmicrosensors and the most suitable circuit techniques for interfacingand processing their output signals. A number of examples ofintegrated structures will illustrate present problems and possiblesolutions.     

前言

自从90年代初期多媒体技术兴起,立刻受到计算机界和通信界的重视,先后在国际和国内召开过多次学术会议,交流最新的研究成果.尤其是随着网络技术的发展,在局域网、广域网以及国际互连网上广泛应用多媒体技术,开展多媒体信息服务,吸引了众多不同行业的科技人员从事多媒体技术的研究工作,推动了信息产业的发展,开发和推广了多媒体产品,成为广大群众乐于接受的高新技术成果之一.

As Electronics Letters entered its fifth decade of publication, it inaugurated a series of invited overview articles on various hot topics from the breadth of the research activities encompassed. In this issue, we have the honour of presenting an article written by Professor Andrew Blake of Microsoft Research Cambridge. Previously he was with the Robotics Research Group of the Department of Engineering Science in the University of Oxford. A Distinguished Fellow of the British Machine Vision Association, Professor Blake is one of the world authorities in computer vision. His brief article entitled 'Visual tracking: a very short research roadmap' gives us only a small taste of the magnitude of the task of realising the ambition of creating artificial intelligence.
