Anti-flicker filter mitigation for an event-based sensor

An apparatus comprising:

• an interface configured to receive an asynchronous event stream from an event-based sensor, wherein said asynchronous event stream comprises a series of pixel locations with a timestamp each generated in response to an autonomous detection by any one of a plurality of pixel circuits of said event-based sensor exceeding a threshold;
• and
• a processor configured to (i) detect a characteristic pattern of a flicker event in said asynchronous event stream and (ii) generate an output signal containing a tick result in response to said characteristic pattern of said flicker event, wherein
• (a) a predicted recurring interval of said flicker event is determined based on an analysis of said characteristic pattern, and
• (b) said tick result comprises one or more future timestamps of said flicker event determined based on said predicted recurring interval for said timestamp of said autonomous detection of a particular one of said pixel locations.
