The idea behind this abstract was triggered by the article entitled „Giving Machines Humanlike Eyes” [http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/MSPEC.2015.7335800] in the December 2015 number of the IEEE Spectrum magazine. Of course, the idea of designing machine parts inspired by models existing in the nature is not new. However, the neuromorphic image sensors offer a completely new paradigm for...

The mode of operation of state-of-the-art image sensors is useful for one thing: photography, i.e. for taking an image of a still scene.

However, as soon as change or motion is involved, the paradigm of visual frame acquisition becomes...
