Claims35
An apparatus for analyzing an image, the apparatus comprising:
- a classifier configured to receive an event signal corresponding to at least one pixel of an event-based vision sensor, and configured to determine a pattern of a pixel group of a plurality of pixels of the event-based vision sensor including the at least one pixel and a plurality of adjacent pixels of the event-based vision sensor adjacent to the at least one pixel;
- and
- an analyzer configured to determine at least one of an appearance of the object and movement of the object, based on the pattern of the pixel group.
An apparatus for analyzing an image, the apparatus comprising:
- a classifier configured to receive a first event signal corresponding to a first pixel of an event-based vision sensor and a second event signal corresponding to a second pixel of the event-based vision sensor, determine a first pattern of a first pixel group of a first plurality of pixels of the event-based vision sensor including the at least one first pixel and a first plurality of adjacent pixels of the event-based vision sensor adjacent to the at least one first pixel, and determine a second pattern of a second pixel group of a second plurality of pixels including the at least one second pixel and a second plurality of adjacent pixels adjacent to the at least one second pixel;
- and
- an analyzer to detect a first location of the object based on the first pattern, detect a second location of the object based on the second pattern, and determine a depth of the object based on the first location and the second location.
A method for analyzing an image, the method comprising:
- receiving an event signal corresponding to at least one pixel of an event-based vision sensor;
- determining a pattern of a pixel group of a plurality of pixels of the event-based vision sensor including the at least one pixel and a plurality of adjacent pixels of the event-based vision sensor adjacent to the at least one pixel;
- and
- determining at least one of an appearance of the object and movement of the object, based on the pattern of the pixel group.
A method for analyzing an image, the method comprising:
- receiving an input of an event signal corresponding to a pixel of an event-based vision sensor indicating movement of an object;
- selecting a plurality of adjacent pixels of the event-based vision sensor adjacent to the pixel corresponding to the event signal;
- determining an edge pattern of the plurality of adjacent pixels;
- determining a position of an edge of the object based on the edge pattern of the plurality of adjacent pixels;
- and
- analyzing an appearance of the object based on the position of the edge of the object.
An apparatus for processing a user input, the apparatus comprising:
- a recognizer configured to recognize movement of an object, based on an input image including an event signal of at least one pixel of an event-based vision sensor indicating that movement of the object is detected;
- and
- a processor configured to update a relative position of the object corresponding to a user input, based on the movement of the object.
