Overview

DVS128 is an event camera from iniVation based on dynamic vision sensor. Unlike conventional camera that sends successive frames at fixed rates, DVS128 transmits only local pixel-level changes caused by moving in a scene. 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.
