Provided is a method for predicting a location of a fast-moving object. The method includes receiving event information from an event camera, the event information corresponding to an event detected by the event camera, generating a Binary Event History Image (BEHI) based on the event information, providing the BEHI as an input to an event-based neural network, obtaining, as an output of the event-based neural network, a first predicted location of the fast-moving object, a normal distribution indicating prediction uncertainty of the predicted location, and a predicted time-to-collision (TTC). The method further includes estimating a second predicted location of the fast-moving object based on the first predicted location, the normal distribution, and the predicted TTC output by the event-based neural network, and actuating a mechanical catching device to be at the second predicted location.

Systems and methods for real-time state estimation of fast-moving objects

A detection system includes a filter and a detector. The filter receives input packets from one or more dynamic vision sensors (DVSs) deployed in an area. The filter reduces the bandwidth of the input packets to produce compressed data packets while maintaining good end-to-end detection capability. The compressed data packets are transmitted to a detector in a low bandwidth transmission. The detector may collect compressed data packets from many filters. The detector determines if an object of interest is represented in the information of the input packets. If an object of interest is present, the detector activates an alarm, sends a notification to a person associated with the area and/or stores an indication in a database.
