New and improved camera inspired by the human eye

Science Daily  July 1, 2024 Neuromorphic vision sensors or event cameras have made the visual perception of extremely low reaction time possible, opening new avenues for high-dynamic robotics applications. Human vision deals with perceptual fading using the active mechanism of small involuntary eye movements, the most prominent ones called microsaccades. By moving the eyes constantly and slightly during fixation, microsaccades can substantially maintain texture stability and persistence. An international team of researchers (USA – University of Maryland, China, Hong Kong) designed an event-based perception system capable of simultaneously maintaining low reaction time and stable texture. In their design, a rotating […]
