Bio-inspired AI-based technology
The Onboard reference system features a Prophesee-enabled VGA-resolution camera combined with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Based on a technique that uses a bio-inspired approach based on capturing events that change in the field of view of individual pixels (and avoiding the transmission of redundant data), the new systems save computational power, bandwidth, memory and energy.
The vision sensor’s high dynamic range allows operation in difficult lighting environments while producing much less data than a traditional frame-based approach and reducing the computational burden of scene analysis processing. The systems consists of a VGA resolution, 640×480 pixel sensor with 15µm pixels in a 3/4″ optical format. The dynamic range of the sensor is greater than 120dB, with the ability to operate down to 100millilux of scene illumination.
