Abstract
A neuromorphic foreign object debris (FOD) detection system includes a FOD processing system and a neuromorphic sensor. The FOD processing system includes a FOD controller including a trained artificial intelligence machine learning (AIML) model representing an area of interest. The neuromorphic sensor has a field of view (FOV) containing the area of interest and is configured to output pixel data in response to FOD appearing in the FOV. The FOD controller detects the FOD is present in the area of interest in response to receiving the pixel data, and generates an alert signal indicating the presence of the FOD.
