Abstract
An image sensor includes a plurality of pixel clusters, wherein each pixel cluster includes a number L of pixel circuits. Each pixel circuit outputs pixel event information, wherein the pixel event information indicates whether or not a change of radiation intensity received by the pixel circuit exceeds a positive threshold value and/or whether or not the change of radiation intensity received by the pixel circuit falls below a negative threshold value. An event processing circuit receives pixel information based on the pixel event information of the pixel circuits of a pixel cluster and generates cluster event information indicating whether or not the pixel information of the L pixel circuits fulfills a predefined cluster output condition.
