Event cameras are novel bio-inspired sensors, which asynchronously capture pixel-level intensity changes in the form of “events". The innovative way they acquire data presents several advantages over standard devices, especially in poor lighting and high-speed motion conditions. In particular, their high pixel bandwidth results in reduced motion blur, and their high dynamic range make them a suitable alternative to traditional cameras when dealing with challenging robotics scenarios. Moreover, the latency and low power consumption of these novel sensors enable their use in real-world applications. Indeed, those peculiarities make them perfect to tackle well-known issues which arise from the use of wearable devices, such as fast camera motion and background clutter.
