Prophesee is the inventor of the most advanced Event-Based Vision systems. Their unique patented Metavision® Event-Based Vision Sensor (EVS) design and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms draw inspiration from the way the human eye and brain function. Metavision® sensors mimic the behavior of the human retina, where individual photoreceptors respond to changes in light intensity. Instead of capturing frames, an "event" is triggered when a significant change in the light level is detected.

Prophesee Metavision® Evaluation Kits

Are you considering neuromorphic engineering for an event-based vision system, but not sure if it's right for your application? Prophesee's Evaluation Kits offer an excellent starting point for exploring Event-Based Vision with their EVK4 HD USB Event Camera with a Sony IMX636 Event-Based Sensor (EVS), or the GenX320 Starter Kit for Rasberry Pi 5.

How do Event cameras differ from traditional machine vision cameras?

Traditional machine vision cameras capture images in frames per second, and lack the information of an element's movement. Redundant background objects are repeatedly recorded in each image, generating excess, unnecessary data. Event-Based Vision (EBV) cameras are built with a neuromorphic vision sensor that captures changes in brightness rather than capturing a complete image at fixed intervals like traditional frame-based cameras. Similar to your eyes and brain, the sensors capture an image when they detect a change - an "event".
