Abstract: A method of controlling the display of images in the form of a pixel array, includes for a pixel of the array, asynchronous information representing events concerning the pixel is received, a first activation of the pixel is actuated at an activation time determined by a first event of the asynchronous information, and at least a second activation of the pixel is actuated in order to repeat the first activation of the pixel at respective times defined by a refresh sequence.

Abstract: A device for displaying an image sequence in the form of a pixel matrix, includes a control unit coupled to a projector. The control unit includes an input interface designed to receive asynchronous information representing, for each pixel of the matrix, events concerning the pixel, and a processor designed to control the activation of each pixel of the matrix at moments determined by the respective events indicated by the asynchronous information for the pixel. The projector is disposed on a support so as to illuminate the light receptors of the eye when the device is in use and is designed to project a light flux corresponding to the pixels activated by the control unit.

Abstract: Asynchronous information is provided by a sensor having a matrix of pixels disposed opposite the scene. The asynchronous information includes, for each pixel of the matrix, successive events originating from this pixel, that may depend on variations of light in the scene. A model representing the tracked shape of an object is updated after detecting events attributed to this object in the asynchronous information. Following detection, the updating of the model includes an association of a point of the model with the event detected by minimizing a criterion of distance with respect to the pixel of the matrix from which the detected event originates. The updated model is then determined as a function of the pixel of the matrix from which the detected event originates and attributed to the object and of the associated point in the model, independently of the associations performed before the detection of this event.

Abstract: A computer receives asynchronous information originating from a light sensor (10) having a pixel matrix disposed opposite a scene. The asynchronous information comprises, for each pixel of the matrix, successive events originating from this pixel and depending on variations in light in the scene. For a place of estimation (p) in the matrix of pixels and an estimation time (t), the computer selects a set (Sp t) of events originating from pixels included in a spatial neighborhood (??) of the place of estimation and which have occurred in a time interval (?) defined with respect to the estimation time, such that this set has at most one event per pixel of the spatial neighborhood. The computer quantifies the variations in the times of occurrence of the events of the set selected as a function of the positions, in the matrix, of the pixels from which these events originate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an implant which includes, in order to electrically stimulate a nerve structure, in particular the retina, an electrically insulating substrate (1), a array of recesses (2) formed in an upper surface of the substrate, stimulation electrodes (3) arranged at the bottom of the recesses, and an electrically conductive layer forming a ground plane (4) at the upper portion of the recesses. The sizes of the recesses and of the electrodes of the implant are such that the spatial selectivity of the stimulation current applied to the nerve structure is maximized.
