In contrast to standard cameras, which produce frames at a fixed rate, event cameras respond asynchronously to pixel-level brightness changes, thus enabling the design of new algorithms for high-speed applications with latencies of microseconds. However, this advantage comes at a cost: because the output is composed by a sequence of events, traditional computer-vision algorithms are not applica...

A new high-speed digital framing camera is described. The design is built around a rotating polygon mirror that provides a framing rate of 24 000 frames/s. The camera electronics digitizes an image into a 32 x 104 grid of pixels, where the second dimension of the grid can be varied and is determined by the 8 bit computer-aided measurement and control digitizer sampling rate. Available digitizer...
