Event-based imaging has a huge potential for automating tasks in environments where traditional cameras are challenged.

Description:
In September 2020, Prophesee made available its Metavision Intelligence Suite, a development toolkit that includes 100 algorithms available through APIs, 67 code samples and 11 open-source, use-case specific application modules for designing and implementing event-based vision technology in machine vision systems. This “initial offering,” the result of five years of work, is comprised of three components – Player, Designer, and SDK – and will be constantly expanded with new use cases modules and code.

Analysis:
Today’s machine vision systems, based on a form of frame-based imaging invented in the 1880s, capture everything going on in a scene at a fixed rate, taxing computing resources and complicating analysis as a result. Conversely, the bio-inspired, event-based sensing systems capture only what changes in a scene, which reduces computational load, and delivers low latency, high resolution imaging with lower power and processing requirements. Event-based imaging has a huge potential for automating tasks in environments where traditional cameras are challenged, such as for low light applications requiring low-latency, high speed, and high dynamic range sensing. With its Metavision Intelligence Suite, Prophesee gives engineers a huge leg up for developing and implementing these systems. – Dan Kara
