Abstract:
A method of producing an image frame from event packets received from an event camera comprises: forming a tile buffer sized to accumulate event information for a subset of image tiles, the tile buffer having an associated tile table that determines a mapping between each tile of the image frame for which event information is accumulated in the tile buffer and the image frame. For each event packet: an image tile corresponding to the pixel location of the event packet is identified; responsive to the tile buffer storing information for one other event corresponding to the image tile, event information is added to the tile buffer; and responsive to the tile buffer not storing information for another event corresponding to the image tile and responsive to the tile buffer being capable of accumulating event information for at least one more tile, the image tile is added to the tile buffer.
