Event-based imaging - increased speed, less data

Event-Based Vision with IDS uEye EVS | Next-Level Motion Detection with Sony IMX636 & Prophesee

Event-based imaging marks a major shift in industrial and scientific vision systems. Unlike traditional frame-based sensors, this revolutionary approach captures only relevant motion data, pixel by pixel, enabling nearly real-time optical tracking with ultra-low data load.

Powered by the Sony IMX636 sensor, co-developed with Prophesee, the IDS uEye EVS camera detects the smallest brightness changes and ignores static background information. This results in highly efficient data processing, even in high-speed or poor lighting conditions.

Video Timeline:

  • 00:00 – Why Event-Based Imaging Is a Game Changer

  • 01:45 – Frame vs. Event-Based Sensor Explained

  • 09:01 – Software & Functionality of uEye EVS

  • 15:48 – Real-World Applications

  • 22:42 – Final Summary

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How event-based imaging differs from frame-based capture

  • How the uEye EVS camera and software work

  • Practical application examples in vibration analysis, motion tracking, and more

  • How to integrate this sensor technology into your own solutions

Ideal for: Engineers, developers, researchers, and system integrators seeking ultra-efficient, high-speed motion detection in vision-based applications.

Watch now to discover how event-based vision is transforming motion analysis and machine perception.
