| Abstract
|
Machine vision systems usually operate by capturing and processing
sequences of frames. Nevertheless, biological brains
do not operate on a frame by frame basis. In the retina, each pixel sends
spikes (also called events) to the cortex when
its activity level reaches a threshold. AER (Address-Event Representation)
ia an image processing technology capable of
very high speed throughput, because it does not rely on sensing and
processing sequences of frames and because it allows
for complex hierarchically structured cortical-like layers for
sophisticated processing. In this seminar, the power of AER
will be illustrated with some examples.
