Neuromorphic Computing Q&A Session

Event cameras utilize novel imaging sensors patterned after visual pathways in the animal brain that are responsive to low contrast, transient events. The pixels of Dynamic Vision Sensors react independently and asynchronously to changes in brightness, creating a stream of time-stamped events encoding the pixel location and sign of the brightness change.  Furthermore, they have extremely high dynamic range, low latency, and lower power requirements, making them ideal for persistent surveillance in varying light conditions on platforms where size, weight, and power (SWaP) are at a premium.  

Their output is fundamentally different from traditional frame-based cameras, where each pixel is sampled at the same time at a fixed rate.  As such, traditional methods of machine learning for computer vision cannot be directly applied.  We have been developing a maritime data set using these cameras for the purpose of automated ship detection, and employing methods based on optical flow for object detection and tracking. In this talk, we describe our data set and initial results.

live discussion

Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific is partnering with AFCEA San Diego chapter to host the workshop.

The NAML workshop is an opportunity for researchers from Navy research and development centers and our partner organizations to exchange technical ideas and to come together as a team.

The goals of NAML are:

* To spread awareness of current machine learning research relevant to Naval applications

* To connect machine learning researchers with experts in military requirements

* To build and strengthen collaborations within the defense research community
