Another interesting kind of hardware they have at INI (Giacomo Indiveri's institute) are the dynamic vision sensors (initially developed by Lichtsteiner, Posch, Delbruck, Berner, Kramer). Those are cameras modeled after the human retina, and they overcome the processing and frame rate bottleneck of traditional cameras by using an event based architecture (event stream of pixel brightness changes -> no data if nothing changes). This allows microsecond latency in machine vision systems, without the high data rates you get with frame based cameras. * Overview: http://siliconretina.ini.uzh.ch/wiki/index.php http://siliconretina.ini.uzh.ch/wiki/index.php * Company selling them: https://inivation.com/dvs/ https://inivation.com/dvs/ * Another company selling them split off by one of the PHDs: https://www.prophesee.ai/ https://www.prophesee.ai/ * Demo video: https://youtu.be/jnzPuDUsP4w?t=14 https://youtu.be/jnzPuDUsP4w?t=14
