SCOPE AND MOTIVATION
-------------------------------------

Neuromorphic sensors, also known as event cameras, are a class of imaging
devices mimicking biological visual systems. Unlike traditional frame-based
cameras, which capture images synchronously, neuromorphic sensors
continuously generate events capturing asynchronous illumination changes.

Event cameras have initially gained interest in the field of robotics due
to their low power consumption, extremely low latency, high dynamic range
and absence of motion blur. Yet, this wide range of intriguing properties
has rapidly enabled new, cutting-edge applications, especially for
motion-centric tasks. The very fine temporal granularity of event cameras
allows to easily capture complex temporal dynamics in a scene, so that the
tackling of complex tasks can abstract from the low-level processing, and
focus directly on higher-level cognition.

In the past few years, we have witnessed the development of new astonishing
technologies based on neuromorphic vision: low latency and low power
consumption have allowed drones to effectively avoid fast-moving obstacles;
high dynamic range and lack of motion blur allowed self-driving cars to
detect other vehicles and pedestrians in adverse conditions such as low
illumination; micro-second temporal granularity has enhanced the analysis
of human micro-expressions and emotions. Many other groundbreaking
applications are leveraging neuromorphic sensors, from high-speed object
counting and defect detection to vibration measurement, fluid monitoring
and time-to-contact estimation for spacecraft landing. Event-based
processing has also been shown to provide an extra layer of privacy
preservation compared to standard cameras, an important addition especially
in light of the recent definition of the AI Act by the European Commission
to regulate the development of artificial intelligence.
