AER imageur ; Address Event Representation camera

Television has defined the reading of the acquired image as a continuous stream, from left to right, line by descending line, starting at the top left corner. The AER bio-inspired transfer process sends only the position and sign of variation of the image pixel whose variation has just exceeded a fixed threshold. The flow is reduced to significant variations. The time of the event becomes an important datum.

Attracteur dynamique; dynamic attractor

A looped spatio-temporal histogram calculation automatically converges to its local energy maximum by dynamically updating the associated classification bounds as soon as a representative element appears. At the end of the sequence, the median of the temporal histogram calculation gives the maximum likelihood of this representation,...
