An event-based vision sensor is provided. The event-based vision sensor comprises an event-based vision sensor pixel array, an always-on row scanner, an always-on column scanner, a major row scanner and a major column scanner. The event-based vision sensor pixel array comprises a plurality of always-on pixels and a plurality of major pixels. The always-on row scanner and the always-on column scanner are for the plurality of always-on pixels. The major row scanner and the major column scanner are for the plurality of major pixels. When the event-based vision sensor is configured to be operated in an always-on mode, the plurality of major pixels are powered down, and the plurality of always-on pixels, the always-on row scanner and the always-on column scanner are in operation.

Low-power always-on event-based vision sensor

An image processing method and a device configured to implement the same are disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining optical input from a hybrid imaging device, wherein an obtained optical input comprises a first component and a second component that temporally corresponds to the first component; wherein the first component of the obtained optical input corresponds to a first temporal resolution, while the second component of the obtained optical input corresponds to a second temporal resolution higher than that of the first component; performing image restoration operation on a first subset of the first component of the obtained optical input in accordance with data from the second component of the obtained optical input; and performing image fusion operation to generate fused image data from an output of the image restoration operation and a second subset of the first component of the obtained optical input.
