Abstract
A method and apparatus for storing an event signal and an image, and an operating method of a vision sensor for transmitting an event signal to a storing apparatus, are provided. The storing method includes receiving an event signal from a vision sensor at a time, determining an event address of an area of a memory based on the time at which the event signal is received, and storing the event signal in the area corresponding to the event address.
Claims12
A storing method of a storing apparatus configured to store an event signal generated by a dynamic vision sensor, the storing method comprising:
- receiving the event signal from the dynamic vision sensor, when an intensity of light from an object changes;
- determining an event address corresponding to time information at which the event signal is received;
- and
- storing the event signal in a first area of a first memory of the storing apparatus, based on the event address,
- wherein the event address indicates the first area of the first memory in which the event signal is to be stored, and
- wherein the time information is a system time of the storing apparatus.
A storing apparatus comprising:
- a communicator configured to receive an event signal from a dynamic vision sensor, when an intensity of light from an object changes;
- a first memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine an event address of a first area of the first memory, based on time information at which the event signal is received;
- and
- store the event signal in the first area corresponding to the event address, wherein the time information indicates a system time of the storing apparatus.
An operating method of a storing apparatus, the operating method comprising:
- receiving a first event signal in response to a first event, and a second event signal in response to second event, from a dynamic vision sensor;
- determining a first event address and a second event address, when the first event signal and the second event signal are received, respectively;
- storing the first event signal and the second event signal in a first area and a second area of a memory, based on the first event address and the second event address, respectively;
- and
- generating an image by accumulating the first event signal and the second event signal,
- wherein the first event address indicates the first area in which the first event signal is to be stored, and the second event address indicates the second area in which the second event signal is to be stored, and
- wherein the first event address corresponds to a first system time of the storing apparatus at which the first event signal is received, and the second event address corresponds to a second system time of the storing apparatus at which the second event signal is received.
