  • EVENT-BASED DOWN SAMPLING
    Publication number: 20160080670
    Abstract: A method of event-based down sampling includes receiving multiple sensor events corresponding to addresses and time stamps. The method further includes spatially down sampling the addresses based on the time stamps and the addresses. The method may also include updating a pixel value for each of the multiple sensor events based on the down sampling.

  • EVENT-BASED SPATIAL TRANSFORMATION
    Publication number: 20160078001
    Abstract: A method for computing a spatial Fourier transform for an event-based system includes receiving an asynchronous event output stream including one or more events from a sensor. The method further includes computing a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix based on dimensions of the sensor. The method also includes computing an output based on the DFT matrix and applying the output to an event processor.

  • INTERFACING AN EVENT BASED SYSTEM WITH A FRAME BASED PROCESSING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160078321
    Abstract: A method of interfacing an event based processing system with a frame based processing system is presented. The method includes converting multiple events into a frame. The events may be generated from an event sensor. The method also includes inputting the frame into the frame based processing system.

  • PLASTIC SYNAPSE MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20150278683
    Abstract: A method for managing synapse plasticity in a neural network includes converting a first set of synapses from a plastic synapse type to a fixed synapse type. The method may also include converting a second set of synapses from the fixed synapse type to the plastic synapse type.
