EETimes has published an interview with CEO of Prophesee about their event sensor technology. Some excerpts below.   Prophesee collaborated with Sony on creating the IMX636 event sensor chip.   Meaning of "neuromorphic" Most companies doing neuromorphic sensing and computing have a similar vision in mind, but implementations and strategies will be different based on varying product, market, and investment constraints. ... ... there is a fundamental belief that the biological model has superior characteristics compared to the conventional ... Markets targeted ... the sector closest to commercial adoption of this technology is industrial machine vision. ... The second key market for the IMX 636 is consumer technologies, ... the event–based camera is used alongside a full–frame camera, detecting motion ... correct any blur. Prophesee is also working with a customer on automotive driver monitoring solutions... Applications here include eye blinking detection, tracking or face tr

IMX487 UV 8.13MP [Advertised as "new product launch" but this has been around for a while.] Global shutter CMOS image sensor specialized for the UV spectrum With the structure specially designed for the properties of the UV wavelengths coupled with Pregius S technology, the image sensor can capture undistorted images of moving objects within a UV range of 200–400 nm and at a high frame rate of 193 fps (operated in the 10-bit mode). This image sensor has a potential to expand the scope of application from the conventional use of UV cameras in the inspection of semiconductors, etc. to areas that require high-speed capability, such as sorting of recycled materials. Low noise This image sensor has adopted the component materials dedicated for UV range imaging, and a special structure has been developed for its light receiving area. These make it possible to maintain high UV sensitivity while significantly minimizing noises to produce high quality images. Smaller pixels The pixels
