Abstract: To appropriately address the complex, challenging and diverse requirements of modern Computer Vision in the robotics, consumer electronics, automotive or automation sectors Sony AVS takes a holistic sensing system design approach. In our developments we carefully weigh strengths and weaknesses of both sensing modalities and processing hardware to complement each other. I will talk about how we combine the strength of Sony’s sensors such as conventional frame-based cameras, depth sensors and event-based sensors (EVS) towards building optimal visual sensing systems. In particular, we utilize the high temporal resolution and spatial sparsity of event-based sensor data to both increase the efficiency and reduce the latency in our vision stack through an adaptive processing paradigm
