*For 1M events/sec
**5 lux is the minimum light level guaranteeing inclusion of all possible operating points.
***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.
PIXEL INTELLIGENCE
Bringing intelligence to the very edge
Inspired by the human retina, at the heart of Prophesee patented Event-Based Metavision sensors, each pixel embeds its own intelligence processing enabling them to activate themselves independently, triggering events.
SPEED
>10k fps Time-Resolution Equivalent
There is no framerate tradeoff anymore. Take full advantage of events over frames and reveal the invisible hidden in hyper fast and fleeting scene dynamics.
DYNAMIC RANGE
>120dB Dynamic Range
Achieve high robustness even in extreme lighting conditions. With event-based Metavision sensors you can now perfectly see details from pitch dark to blinding brightness in one same scene, at any speed.
LOW LIGHT
0.08 lx Low-Light Cutoff
Sometimes the darkest areas hold the clearest insights. Metavision enables you to see events where light almost does not exist, down to 0.08 lx.
DATA EFFICIENCY
10 to 1000x less data
With each pixel only reporting when it senses movement, event-based Metavision sensors generate on average 10 to 1000x less data than traditional image-based ones.
REVEAL THE INVISIBLE
BETWEEN THE FRAMES
FRAME-BASED VISION
In a traditional frame-based sensor, the whole sensor array is triggered at a pre-defined rhythm, regardless of the actual scene’s dynamics.
This leads to the acquisition of large volumes of raw, undersampled or redundant, data.
EVENT-BASED VISION
In Prophesee’s patented Event-Based sensor, each pixel intelligently activates itself depending on the contrast change (movement) it detects.
This enables the acquisition of only essential motion information, continuously. There is no longer a framerate.
On the LEFT, a simulation of Frame-Based Vision running at 10fps. This approach leverages traditional cinema techniques and records a succession of static images to represent movement. Between these images, there is nothing, the system is blind by design.
On the RIGHT, the same scene recorded using Event-Based Vision. There is no gap between the frames, because there are no frames anymore. Instead, a continuous stream of essential information dynamically driven by movement, pixel by pixel.
This drastically reduces the power, latency and data processing requirements imposed by traditional frame-based systems.
ADVANCED TOOLKIT
With Prophesee USB evaluation kit purchase comes a complementary access to an advanced toolkit composed of an online portal, drivers, data player and SDK PRO.
We are sharing an advanced toolkit so you can start building your own vision.
