IMX637 Event-Based Vision Sensor – 0.33 MP, 110 dB, Low Latency

Description

Metavision® EVK3 GenX320 is your perfect entry point to Event-based Vision, by the inventors of the world’s most advanced neuromorphic vision systems. This full-featured platform is compatible with the Metavision® Intelligence software Suite. This evaluation kit features at its core the revolutionary GenX320 Event-based Vision sensor. With its USB-3.0 Micro-B and SMA connectors, it is the ideal flexible tool for your advanced experiments.

At the heart, the GenX320 is a 320x320 6.3μm pixel BSI stacked event-based Metavision® sensor, designed for embedded vision and many power-sensitive applications. The GenX320 was designed with the explicit goal of improving integrability and usability in at-the-edge vision systems. This includes:

• Event data pre-processing and formatting
• Data interface compatibility
• Low-latency connectivity to different processing platforms, including the latest low-power neuromorphic processors

The sensor has been optimized for very low power operation, featuring a hierarchy of application-specific power modes. The GenX320 contains an integrated Event Signal Processing (ESP) pipeline, which includes:

• Timestamping
• Filtering
• Throughput regulation
• Data formatting functions

An Event Rate Controller (ERC) allows capping the output event rate to a programmable limit. A Spatio-Temporal Contrast filter (STC) detects and removes redundant bursts and trails of events triggered by high-contrast features in the scene. An AntiFlicker (AFK) filter detects and filters events generated by flickering lights. The stop-band frequency can be set in the range of 50-500 Hz with arbitrary spans.
