Object Tracking Using Multiple Neuromorphic Vision Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we show how a combination of multiple neuromorphic vision sensors can achieve the same higher level visual processing tasks as carried out by a conventional vision system. We process the multiple neuromorphic sensory signals with a standard auto-regression method in order to fuse the sensory signals and to achieve higher level vision processing tasks at a very high update rate. We also argue why this result is of great relevance for the application domain of reactive and lightweight mobile robotics, at the hands of a soccer robot, where the fastest sensory-motor feedback loop is imperative for a successful participation in a RoboCup soccer competition.

In this paper we show how a combination of low dimensional vision sensors can be used to aid the higher level visual processing task of colour blob tracking, carried out by a conventional vision system. The processing elements are neuromorphic analog VLSI (aVLSI) vision sensors capable of computing motion and estimating the spatial position of high-contrast moving targets. In these devices both...

A partial review of neuromorphic vision sensors that are suitable for use in autonomous systems is presented. Interfaces are being developed to multiplex the high-dimensional output signals of arrays of such sensors and to communicate them in standard formats to off-chip devices for higher-level processing, actuation, storage and display. Alternatively, on-chip processing stages may be implemen...
متن کاملA Noise Filtering Algorithm for Event-Based Asynchronous Change Detection Image Sensors on TrueNorth and Its Implementation on TrueNorth
Asynchronous event-based sensors, or "silicon retinae," are a new class of vision sensors inspired by biological vision systems. The output of these sensors often contains a significant number of noise events along with the signal. Filtering these noise events is a common preprocessing step before using the data for tasks such as tracking and classification. This paper presents a novel spiking ...
متن کاملA Saccade Based Framework for Real-Time Motion Segmentation Using Event Based Vision Sensors
Motion segmentation is a critical pre-processing step for autonomous robotic systems to facilitate tracking of moving objects in cluttered environments. Event based sensors are low power analog devices that represent a scene by means of asynchronous information updates of only the dynamic details at high temporal resolution and, hence, require significantly less calculations. However, motion se...
