The embodiment of the invention provides a bimodal bionic vision sensor. The effect of exciting type visual rod cells is simulated through a first type current mode active pixel sensor circuit, and aperception effect on light intensity gradient information in a target light signal is realized, so the dynamic range of a bionic vision sensor image is further improved, and the shooting speed is increased. Moreover, a first type control switch is introduced to each non-target first type photosensitive device, so the obtained light intensity gradient information can be controlled, the adjustment of the dynamic range of the bionic vision sensor image is realized, the adjustment of the shooting speed is further realized, and the effect of reconfiguration is realized. According to the invention,the voltage mode active pixel sensor simulates the effect of the cone cells, a target voltage signal representing the light intensity information in the target light signal can be output, the perception effect on the light intensity information in the target light signal is realized, the obtained target voltage signal represents the light intensity information with higher precision, and the obtained image quality can be ensured.
