Abstract

Embodiments are directed to perceiving scene features using event sensors and image sensors. Paths may be scanned across objects in a scene with one or more beams. Images of the scene may be captured with frame cameras. Events may be generated based on detection of beam reflections that correspond to the objects. Trajectories may be based on the paths and the events. A distribution of intensity associated with the trajectories may be determined based on the energy associated with the traces in the images. Centroids for the trajectories may be determined based on the distribution of the intensity of energy, a resolution of the frame cameras, or timestamps associated with the events. Enhanced trajectories may be generated based on the centroids such that the enhanced trajectories may be provided to a modeling engine that executes actions based on the enhanced trajectories and the objects.
