Integrating Event Camera Sensor Emulator

Event cameras are biologically-inspired sensors that upend the framed, synchronous nature of traditional cameras. Singh et al. proposed a novel sensor design wherein incident light values may be measured directly through continuous integration, with individual pixels' light sensitivity being adjustable in real time [8], allowing for extremely high frame rate and high dynamic range video capture. Arguing the potential usefulness of this sensor, this paper introduces a system for simulating the sensor's event outputs and pixel firing rate control from 3D-rendered input images.
