A network for the detection of an approaching object with simple-shape recognition is proposed based on lower animal vision. The locust can detect an approaching object through a simple process in the descending contralateral movement detector (DCMD) in the locust brain, by which the approach velocity and direction of the object is determined. The frog can recognize simple shapes through a simple process in the tectum and thalamus in the frog brain. The proposed network is constructed of simple analog complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. The integrated circuit of the proposed network is fabricated with the 1.2 µm CMOS process. Measured results for the proposed circuit indicate that the approach velocity and direction of an object can be detected by the output current of the analog circuit based on the DCMD response. The shape of moving objects having simple shapes, such as circles, squares, triangles and rectangles, was recognized using the proposed frog-visual-system-based circuit.
