Frequency Analysis of a 64x64 Pixel Retinomorphic System with AER Output to Estimate the Limits to Apply onto Specific Mechanical Environment
Description
The rods and cones of a human retina are constantly sensing and
transmitting the light in the form of spikes to the cortex of the brain in order to
reproduce an image in the brain. Delbruck's lab has designed and manufactured
several generations of spike based image sensors that mimic the human retina.
In this paper we present an exhaustive timing analysis of the Address-Event-
Representation (AER) output of a 64x64 pixels silicon retinomorphic system.
Two different scenarios are presented in order to achieve the maximum
frequency of light changes for a pixel sensor and the maximum frequency of
requested directions on the output AER. Results obtained are 100 Hz and 1.66
MHz in each case respectively. We have tested the upper spin limit and found it
to be approximately 6000rpm (revolutions per minute) and in some cases with
high light contrast lost events do not exist.
