Abstract
A sensor device includes multiple pixels that receive light and perform photoelectric conversion to generate electrical signals. It has event detection circuitry that detects intensity changes above a threshold in a subset of pixels (event-detecting pixels) and generates event data. Another subset of pixels (intensity-detecting pixels) arranged in a two-dimensional array generates signals representing light intensity. A control unit associates event-detecting and intensity-detecting pixels based on their field of view and assigns corresponding pixel row numbers. It applies a rolling shutter to read pixel signals and assigns time stamps indicating the readout time. The control unit converts pixel and event time stamps to a unified frame time using a conversion function dependent on the pixel row number.
