Asynchronous event-based vision for UAS perception
Automatic visual-based systems have traditionally suffered from severe problems when the movements of the robot are abrupt or the lightning conditions are uncontrolled. In particular, aerial robots are prone to be subject to these limitations as they can perform aggressive maneuvers and interact outdoors in a variety of scenarios. While the advent of event cameras has provided a sensor solution to deal with these issues, the use of event-based vision onboard Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) entails a change of paradigm in the development of perception algorithms. This lecture will focus on the development of perception systems for UAS using event-based vision and will address its opportunities, challenges and a set of potential applications.
