Intelligent sensor systems and methods are provided. An intelligent sensor system as described herein includes an intelligent sensor array in which at least portions of a neural network are implemented in hardware. More particularly, multiple artificial intelligence pixels, each providing a neural network, can be included in the intelligent sensor system. Each artificial intelligence pixel includes a plurality of sub-pixel elements disposed across a portion of the intelligent sensor array. Each sub-pixel element includes a photodetector and a neuromorphic element. Weighted outputs from the sub-pixel elements within an artificial intelligence pixel are summed and compared to a reference value. Depending on that comparison, a pixel output is or is not provided to a subsequent layer of a larger neural network or to a data consumer.
