Embodiment Construction

[0018] The real-time feature extraction method proposed by the present invention has a structure such as image 3 Shown. This structure is a two-layer structure. The output event of the AER image sensor is used as the input of the feature extraction module. After the convolution operation of the convolutional layer (S1), and then the maximization operation of the class maximization operation (C1) layer, you can Extract the corresponding feature information.

[0019] The S1 layer implements the event convolution operation. This layer contains N1 convolution modules, and each convolution module is configured with a convolution kernel. In the present invention, the Gabor function is used to calculate and generate the convolution kernel. The calculation of the Gabor function is as Formula (1) shows:

[0020]

[0021] μ 0 =μcosθ+νsinθ

[0022] ν 0 =-μsinθ+νcosθ (1)

[0023] Where μ and ν represent the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the generated convolution kernel, λ represents t...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of AER (Address-Event Representation) image sensor processing. In order to realize high speed and instantaneity, extracted features contain good scale and angle information. Therefore, the invention adopts the technical scheme that a real-time feature extraction method used for an AER image sensor is characterized in that the output event of the AER image sensor is taken as the input of feature extraction, corresponding feature information can be extracted through the convolution operation of a convolutional layer S1 and the maximum operation of a similar maximum operation C1 layer, wherein the layer S1 capable of realizing the convolution operation of the event comprises N1 pieces of convolutional modules, a convolution kernel is configured for each convolutional module, and a Gabor function is adopted to calculate and generate the convolution kernel. The method is mainly applied to the image processing field of the AER image sensor.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image processing of AER image sensors, and in particular to a real-time feature extraction method for special image convolution using AER as an information carrier.
