  • Patent number: 10636164
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an object detection method and apparatus based on a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS). The method includes the following operations of: acquiring a plurality of image frames by a DVS; and, detecting the image frames by a recurrent coherent network to acquire a candidate box for objects to be detected, wherein the recurrent coherent network comprising a frame detection network model and a candidate graph model. By using a new recurrent coherent detection network, a bounding box for an object to be detected is fast detected from the data acquired by a DVS. The detection speed is improved greatly while ensuring the detection accuracy.

  • Patent number: 10552973
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide an image vision processing method, device and equipment and relate to: determining parallax and depth information of event pixel points in a dual-camera frame image acquired by Dynamic Vision Sensors; determining multiple neighboring event pixel points of each non-event pixel point in the dual-camera frame image; determining, according to location information of each neighboring event pixel point of each non-event pixel point, depth information of the non-event pixel point; and performing processing according to the depth information of each pixel point in the dual-camera frame image. Since non-event pixel points are not required to participate in the matching of pixel points, even if it is difficult to distinguish between the non-event pixel points or the non-event pixel points are occluded, depth information of the non-event pixel points can be accurately determined according to the location information of neighboring event pixel points.
