Depth based dynamic vision sensor

A system comprising:

• a first image sensor array configured to receive modulated incident light generated by modulating incident light such that an amount of light reaching one or more positions within the first image sensor array is based on angle of arrival of the incident light and configured to generate an electric signal based on an intensity of the light incident upon at least one photodetector of the image sensor array;
• a second image sensor;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• in a first mode, determine depth information by computing a distance to an object based at least in part on the generated electric signal;
• and
• in a second mode, determine depth information at least in part with the second image sensor.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a plurality of computer executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor operatively coupled to:

• a first image sensor array configured to receive modulated incident light such that an amount of light reaching one or more positions within the first image sensor array is based on angle of arrival of the incident light and to generate an electric signal based on an intensity of the light incident upon at least one photodetector of the image sensor array, and
• a second image sensor,
• cause the at least one processor to:
• in a first mode, determine depth information by computing a distance to an object based at least in part on the electric signal generated by the first image sensor;
• and
• in a second mode, determine depth information at least in part with the second image sensor.
