Claim One:
1. Apparatus configured for object recognition, the apparatus comprising: a receiving module configured to receive a first plurality of frames relating to an object undergoing a transformation; an encoder configured to encode at least a portion of a frame within the first plurality of frames into a group of pulses; and at least one detector in communication with the encoder and configured to receive the group of pulses, and to generate a first signal based at least in part on the group of pulses; wherein: at least a subset of the first plurality of frames comprises a plurality of views of the object undergoing the transformation; the apparatus is configured to recognize the object in a view of the plurality of views invariantly with respect to the transformation; the at least one detector is adjustable from a first regime to a second regime responsive to a second signal; the second signal comprises a detection signal generated in response to a first frame of the first plurality of frames; and the first regime comprises a first excitability parameter of the at least one detector and the second regime comprises a second excitability parameter of the at least one detector, the second excitability parameter being different than the first excitability parameter at least until a second frame of the first plurality of frames is received, the second frame being generated subsequent to the first frame of the first plurality of frames.
