Imagine a super-fast camera that continuously captures images from pixels and detects only changes in light brightness. Each pixel works independently and constantly, with microsecond detection. This is the basis for event-based or neuromorphic imaging.
A 2022 McKinsey report identified neuromorphic computing as one of the top ten technology trends with the potential to reshape several markets and industries in the coming decades.

Rapidly capturing change​

In event-based imaging, each pixel on the sensor has a set threshold, and when that threshold is exceeded, the pixel activates, capturing only what has changed from the previous threshold. This approach transmits only relevant data, rather than an entire image, creating an “extreme region of interest” that reduces computing time and processing resources.
Since only the pixels detecting movement are activated, the resulting image has minimal latency due to the small amount of data being updated. Additionally, less power is required to capture the smaller image.

Dynamic range redefined

Another advantage of neuromorphic pixels is their capability to capture more than 120 dB of dynamic range.
Sensors based on these pixels, like a human retina, can locally adapt to vast changes in brightness, detect edges, signal temporal changes, and sense motion. Their photoreceptors continuously monitor intensity and adjust to the local image over time and space, maximizing dynamic range.
Caltech, MIT, and John Hopkins have been researching this topic since the 1990s. This work, spurred by Northrup Grumman, Rockwell International, and DARPA, evolved under the leadership of researcher Christof Koch.
Christof Koch was a leading professor of computation and neural systems at Caltech, and he was recognized for his work on neuromorphic systems. He later became president of the Allen Institute for Brain Science.

Diverse applications of neuromorphic imaging

Applications run the gamut:
  • Autos: ADAS and cabin monitoring
  • Medical: Fluidics and cell tracking
  • Sports: Player tracking, swing analysis
  • Defense: Rocket, bullet, and bomb analysis
  • Industrial: High-speed counting and vibration analysis

Combining event-based and color sensors

New camera systems can integrate event-based sensors with traditional color sensors to produce images that are both more accurate and visually appealing. By combining these technologies, the resulting images can be fast and precise.
Industrial applications are plentiful due to their speed and low data requirements.
Currently, Sony has partnered with Prophesse, a French company that has commercialized neuromorphic sensors for integration with existing camera modules. According to Prophesse, its sensors produce up to 1000 times less data than a conventional sensor while achieving a higher equivalent temporal resolution of more than 10,000 frames per second.
Based in Zurich, iniVation is a Swiss company also pioneering the field with its Aeveon sensors, which feature 346 x 260 pixels.

I'd agree with you Droob.
I am normally not afraid to sell all my shares as I think the share price will tank after a quarterly with f all in it. I watch the volume traded regularly as well as the buyers verses selling ratio trying to predict when to buy back in or sell.
Risky, amateurish? Yes but I've done alright out of it in the past.
Over the last few months and especially this quarterly its been different.
Happy with Sean's interview with SDU and his mention of some news before the end of year (could be just another granted patent?) but still well aware there is a long way to go

Chip wars advance......

Cannot be good for Brainchip but maybe some see it differently(?)

I honestly don’t see why this would be bad for BrainChip. With the U.S. blocking TSMC from supplying certain chips to Huawei, it actually opens up more opportunities for BrainChip. Since l Akida isn’t tied up in these trade restrictions, they could attract more customers who are looking for alternatives to restricted suppliers. It seems like it could really boost BrainChip’s position in the market. Brainchip currently is not in the Chinese market with partnerships like Huawei … 🧐 I think it is positive just my personal opinion
