Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus of integrated image sensing devices. In one example, a system includes a sensor that generates data. A memory device stores the generated data, and further stores a first portion of an artificial neural network (ANN). A host interface of the system is configured to communicate with a host system that stores a second portion of the ANN. The memory device can be stacked with the sensor. The memory device includes an inference engine configured to generate inference results using the stored data as input to the first portion of the ANN. The host interface is further configured to send the inference results to the host system for processing by the host system using the second portion of the ANN.
