Abstract
Provided is a signal processing device including a communication unit which receives packets transmitted from an event-driven vision sensor including a sensor array including sensors generating event signals when a change in intensity of incident light is detected, a buffer memory in which the packets are temporarily stored, and a readout control unit which forcibly reads out the packets from the buffer memory in a case in which predetermined conditions are satisfied.
Claims10
A signal processing device comprising:
- a communication unit which receives packets transmitted from an event-driven vision sensor including a sensor array including sensors generating event signals when a change in intensity of incident light is detected;
- a buffer memory in which the packets are temporarily stored;
- and
- a readout control unit which forcibly reads out the packets from the buffer memory in a case in which predetermined conditions are satisfied.
- wherein the packets include packets corresponding to the event signals and a delimiter packet added to the packets corresponding to the event signals in the vision sensor, and
- the readout control unit determines the predetermined conditions in accordance with the delimiter packet.

A signal processing device comprising:
- a communication unit which receives packets transmitted from an event-driven vision sensor including a sensor array including sensors for generating event signals when a change in the intensity of incident light is detected;
- a buffer memory in which the packets are temporarily stored;
- and
- a readout control unit which forcibly reads out the packets from the buffer memory in a case in which predetermined conditions are satisfied,
- wherein the packets include packets corresponding to the event signals,
