Event-based perception

Event-based perception is a way for machines to process visual information by capturing changes or movements in the environment as they happen, rather than analyzing entire scenes constantly. Instead of taking periodic images like traditional cameras, this approach detects and records only the moments when something changes—such as an object moving or a light turning on. This method allows for faster, more efficient processing, especially useful in dynamic situations, as it reduces data load and focuses on relevant events in real-time. It’s akin to how our eyes notice movement rather than static scenes, enabling quicker responses.
