DYNAMIC VISION SENSOR AND PROJECTOR FOR DEPTH IMAGING
Systems, devices, and techniques related to matching features between a dynamic vision sensor and one or both of a dynamic projector or another dynamic vision sensor are discussed. Such techniques include casting a light pattern with projected features having differing temporal characteristics onto a scene and determining the correspondence(s) based on matching changes in detected luminance and temporal characteristics of the projected features.
Method and apparatus for vehicle inspection and safety system calibration using projected images
