DVS128
|
The Dynamic Vision Sensor DVS128 is a completely new way of doing machine vision. Conventional vision sensors see the world as a series of frames. Successive frames contain enormously redundant information, wasting energy, computational power and time. In addition, each frame imposes the same exposure time on every pixel, making it impossible to process scenes containing very dark and very bright regions. The DVS (Dynamic Vision Sensor) solves these problems by using patented technology that works like your own retina. Instead of wastefully sending entire images at fixed frame rates, only the local pixel-level changes caused by moving in a scene are transmitted – at exactly the time they occur. The result is a stream of events at microsecond time resolution, equivalent to or better than conventional high-speed vision sensors running at thousands of frames per second. Power, data storage and computational requirements are also drastically reduced, and dynamic sensor range is increased by orders of magnitude due to the local processing. The DVS128 is available with a USB 2.0 interface or an address- event representation (AER) output (DVS128-AER). |
