Image processing apparatus and method for feature extraction

Abstract

The invention relates to an image processing apparatus for extracting a feature from an image of a scene. The apparatus may comprises processing circuitry configured, in response to a feature extraction event, to extract a feature from first image data representing a first image of a scene, wherein the feature extraction event is based on second image data representing a second image of the scene. The image processing apparatus may include an event driven sensor and the second image may include may include a positive/negative amount of the intensity change and the location of the intensity change. Moreover, the invention relates to a corresponding image processing method.
