Abstract
An event sensor including a pixel array and configured to produce a signal stream comprising event data in reaction to light incident on the pixel array. The event sensor includes: for each pixel of the pixel array a photovoltaic converter and an electronic converter connected to the photovoltaic converter. The photovoltaic converter and the electronic converter are configured to produce and store a digital current pixel value, which is dependent on the intensity of light incident on the photovoltaic converter; for each pixel of the pixel array a corresponding multi-bit digital storage configured to store a previous pixel value; and a readout processor connected to the electronic converter and the multi-bit digital storage and configured to generate a pixel event value of the event data based on a pixel subtraction result of subtracting the previous pixel value from the current pixel value.
