Abstract:
A method for producing a textural image from event information generated by an event camera comprises: accumulating event information from a plurality of events occurring during successive event cycles across a field of view of the event camera, each event indicating an x,y location within the field of view, a polarity for a change of detected light intensity incident at the x,y location and an event cycle at which the event occurred; in response to selected event cycles, analysing event information for one or more preceding event cycles to identify one or more regions of interest bounding a respective object to be tracked; and responsive to a threshold event criterion for a region of interest being met, generating a textural image for the region of interest from event information accumulated from within the region of interest.
