Metavision Active Marker Demo Application

A breakthrough plug-and-play Active Markers Tracking application is included in this kit. 

This application highlights unique features of Prophesee’s event-based Metavision technologies. It enables a new range of ultra high-speed tracking use cases such as game controller tracking, machine / construction site safety, heavy load anti-sway systems and many more.

Prophese’s event-based Metavision sensors reach ultra high temporal resolution and feature unique pixel-intelligent design. This enables high-speed detection and tracking of LED light pulses, total background extraction and real-time 3D pose information.

    >1,000Hz 3D pose estimation

    Complete background rejection at pixel level

    Extreme robustness to challenging lighting conditions

      Start evaluation of breakthrough stacked Event-based Vision Sensor realized in collaboration between Sony and PROPHESEE.

      This sensor was made possible by combining Sony’s CMOS image sensor technology with Prophesee’s unique Event-Based Metavision sensing technology.

       KEY FEATURES

      • Resolution (px) 1280 x 720
      • Optical format: 1/2.5”
      • Pixel latency (μs) <100
      • Dynamic Range (dB) >86* / >120**
      • Nominal contrast threshold (%) 25
      • Pixel size (μm) 4.86 x 4.86
      • Event Signal Processing embedded

      * DR >86dB (5 lux – 100000 lux) 5 lux is the minimum light level guaranteeing inclusion of all possible operating points.
      **DR >120 dB (Low-light cut-off 0.08 lux – 100000 lux) Low-light cut-off is the minimum light level guaranteeing nominal contrast sensitivity. For many typical applications, the sensor data are actionable down to this light level. 100000 lux is a virtual high-light limit, not experienced in experiment.
