Abstract: There is provided an electro-optical component comprising (a) a substrate, (b) a phase-variable element carried on the substrate, (c) a memory carried on the substrate for storing data representative of a phase state for the phase-variable element; and (d) a controller carried on the substrate, for utilizing the data and setting the phase state for the element. There is also provided an electro-optical component comprising (a) a substrate, (b) a phase-variable element carried on the substrate, and (c) a circuit carried on the substrate for computing and applying a phase state for the phase-variable element.

Abstract: There is provided an image capturing and processing apparatus. The apparatus includes a plurality of image capturing and processing elements arranged in an array on a common substrate. Each of the plurality of elements includes a photodetector for detecting light that produces a signal corresponding to light incident upon the photodetector, and a processor for producing a forward discrete wavelet transform of the signal. The processor also compensates for motion represented by a change in the signal.
