| Zusammenfassung: | This paper introduces a method to compute the FFT of a visual scene at a high temporal precision of around 1- [Formula: see text] output from an asynchronous event-based camera. Event-based cameras allow to go beyond the widespread and ingrained belief that acquiring series of images at some rate is a good way to capture visual motion. Each pixel adapts its own sampling rate to the visual input it receives and defines the timing of its own sampling points in response to its visual input by reacting to changes of the amount of incident light. As a consequence, the sampling process is no longer governed by a fixed timing source but by the signal to be sampled itself, or more precisely by the variations of the signal in the amplitude domain. Event-based cameras acquisition paradigm allows to go beyond the current conventional method to compute the FFT. The event-driven FFT algorithm relies on a heuristic methodology designed to operate directly on incoming gray level events to update incrementally the FFT while reducing both computation and data load. We show that for reasonable levels of approximations at equivalent frame rates beyond the millisecond, the method performs faster and more efficiently than conventional image acquisition. Several experiments are carried out on indoor and outdoor scenes where both conventional and event-driven FFT computation is shown and compared |
