Embodiment Construction

[0031] The different embodiments, in particular the embodiments described below, may be realized by means of one or more circuits. In one embodiment, a "circuit" may be understood as any type of logic implementing entity, which may be hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof. Thus, in one embodiment, a "circuit" may be a hardwired logic circuit or a programmable logic circuit, such as a programmable processor, eg a microprocessor. "Circuit" may also be software, such as any type of computer program, implemented or implemented by a processor. According to an alternative embodiment, any other type of implementation of the corresponding functions, which are described in more detail below, may be understood as a "circuit".

[0032] In the case of machine learning, learning a function that maps input data (such as sensor data) to output data. In the case of learning (that is to say, training a neural network or other model), an input data set (also called training ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for ascertaining a physical property of an object. The method includes detecting, for each input point in time of a sequence of input points in time, sensor data including information about a physical object, using an event-based sensor; for each subsequence of input points in time: feeding the detected sensor data to a pulsed neural network, processing the sensor data by pulsed neurons of the pulsed neural network for generating a first processing result, the pulsed neurons integrating values of sensor data, feeding the first processing result to a non-pulsed neural network, and processing the first processing result by non-pulsed neurons of a first layer of the non-pulsed neural network for generating a second processing result; feeding the second processing results to a second layer, combining the second processing results of the multiple subsequences by non-pulsed neurons of the second layer in such a way that the non-pulsed neurons calculate a weighted sum of values of second processing results of different subsequences; and ascertaining the physical property of the physical object from outputs of the non-pulsed neurons.

Description

technical field [0001] In general, various embodiments relate to apparatus and methods for determining physical properties of physical objects. Background technique [0002] In event-based cameras, not always the entire image, that is to say all pixels of a frame, but only the changed pixel values ​​are transmitted. By this, there is no need to wait for the construction of the entire image (frame) in terms of processing. Due to their high temporal resolution, such event-based cameras are significantly more suitable than conventional cameras in certain application scenarios, such as for motion estimation in the case of autonomous driving. Due to their fundamentally different ways of working, traditional image processing methods, and especially the traditional architecture of neural networks for image processing, are ineffective for processing the image data provided by event-based cameras. [0003] Correspondingly, for various tasks, for example for monitoring in production...
