In-sensor wireless computing for intelligent remote sensing
摘要
Real-time wireless transmission of large-scale images is essential for remote-sensing applications, yet conventional architectures treat imaging, compression and wireless transmission as separate processes, resulting in substantial latency under constrained channel capacity. Here we present an in-sensor wireless computing architecture that integrates imaging, compression, signal modulation and wireless transmission into a single step. The system exploits the unique alternating-current photoresponse of two-dimensional-material device arrays to perform in-sensor computation, enabling images to be wirelessly transmitted as compressed spatial-frequency representations. The received signals can be directly recognized with accuracy comparable to that obtained using the original images, while reducing transmission latency by up to 96.8% relative to conventional approaches. This work establishes in-sensor wireless computing as a promising route towards low-latency remote imaging, with potential applications in next-generation satellite–terrestrial networks and edge–cloud collaborative computing.
