What is an event-based vision camera?
An event-based vision camera is a camera equipped with an event-based vision sensor.
The event-based vision sensor is a sensor that outputs event information (change polarity, coordinates, and time) in the form of brightness change independently of each pixel as high-speed data most likely same sa real time response.
Cameras that take advantage of this characteristic are used efficiently and effectively in a variety of applications, including the detection of fast-moving objects, vibrations, motion movement, and the imaging of subjects with large differences in luminance in all fields, including the industrial domain.
"The SilkyEvCam is a USB camera equipped with PROPHESEE's event-based vision sensor with VGA (640 x 480) resolution.
