Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine a control signal before synchronous readout of a frame (or part of the frame) is performed by a sensor. Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine event density (e.g., a dense row signal or a dense frame signal) before synchronous readout is performed by the sensor. In some implementations, the event camera is capable of operating in a first readout mode and a second readout mode based on a number of events. In the second readout mode, less data per pixel may be readout.
