Acquiring images as a succession of frames is one way to get the job done, but it is not the best way. One problem with this approach, is that each pixel of a sensor is exposed for the same amount of time, which makes it hard to simultaneously image bright and dark regions of a scene. iniLabs, a spinoff from the Neuroinformatics Institute at the University of Zurich, has developed a new sensor, known as the VS128 DVS, which eliminates many of the limitations of conventional cameras.
