    Abstract: An image sensor includes a CIS (CMOS image sensor) pixel, a DVS (dynamic vision sensor) pixel, and an image signal processor. The CIS pixel includes a photoelectric conversion device generating charges corresponding to an incident light and a readout circuit generating an output voltage corresponding to the generated charges. The DVS pixel detects a change in an intensity of the incident light based on the generated charges to output an event signal and does not include a separate photoelectric conversion device. The image signal processor allows the photoelectric conversion device to be connected to the readout circuit or the DVS pixel.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for acquiring an image disparity are provided. The method may include acquiring, from dynamic vision sensors, a first image having a first view of an object and a second image having a second view of the object; calculating a cost within a preset disparity range of an event of first image and a corresponding event of the second image; calculating an intermediate disparity of the event of the first image and an intermediate disparity of the event of the second image based on the cost; determining whether the event of the first image is a matched event based on the intermediate disparity of the event of the first image and the intermediate disparity of the event of the second image; and predicting optimal disparities of all events of the first image based on an intermediate disparity of the matched event of the first imaged.

    Abstract: An object detection method and a neural network system for object detection are disclosed. The object detection method acquires a current frame of a sequence of frames representing an image sequence, and extracts a feature map of the current frame. The extracted feature map is pooled with information of a pooled feature map of a previous frame to thereby obtain a pooled feature map of the current frame. An object is detected from the pooled feature map of the current frame. A dynamic vision sensor (DVS) may be utilized to provide the sequence of frames. Improved object detection accuracy may be realized, particularly when object movement speed is slow.

    Abstract: An image generating method and an image generating apparatus are provided. The image generating method includes generating a first image based on first event signals that are output from an event-based vision sensor during a first time period and stored in a buffer, generating a second image based on second event signals that are output from the event-based vision sensor during a second time period and stored in the buffer, and aligning the first image and the second image to generate a third image having a quality that is higher than qualities of the first image and the second image.

    Abstract: A motion recognizing apparatus and method are provided. According to an aspect, a motion recognizing apparatus may include: an optical sensor configured to sense at least a portion of a subject where a motion occurs and to output one or more events in response thereto; a motion tracing unit configured to trace a motion locus of the portion where the motion occurs based on the one or more outputted events; and a motion pattern determining unit configured to determine a motion pattern of the portion where the motion occurs based on the traced motion locus.
