Chromatic adaptation refers to the sensing and preprocessing of the spectral composition of incident light on the retina, and it is important for color-image recognition. It is challenging to apply sensing, memory, and processing functions to color images via the same physical process using the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology because of redundant data detection, complicated signal conversion processes, and the requirement for additional memory modules. Inspired by the highly efficient chromatic adaptation of the human retina, a 2D oxygen-mediated platinum diselenide (PtSe 2 ) device is presented to simultaneously apply sensing, memory, and processing functions to color images. The device exhibits a wavelength-dependent bipolar photoresponse and the linear pulse-number dependence of photoconductivity, which is dominated by the photon-mediated physical adsorption and desorption of oxygen molecules on bilayer PtSe 2 . The proposed retinomorphic device shows superior image classification accuracy (over 90%) compared to an independent pseudocolor channel (less than 75%). Hence, it is promising for developing artificial vision perception systems with reduced architectural complexity.
