Event & Frame Camera SilkyEvCam BothView

Simultaneously acquire event and frame data!

The derivative product of the event-based vision camera "SilkyEvCam," called the "BothView C-mount model," was developed in response to requests from many event camera users. To further enhance the advantages of event cameras, which feature ultra-fast sensing of brightness changes at the pixel level and are less affected by ambient light due to their wide dynamic range, we received numerous inquiries about wanting to see traditional frame-based images as well. Until now, it was common to arrange event cameras and frame cameras in parallel for shooting, but this resulted in unavoidable parallax and required additional correction processing. The inherent advantages of event cameras, such as low data volume and low power consumption, were not fully utilized. This product eliminates parallax by capturing images with a single lens and utilizes a beam splitter to divide the incoming light from the lens between the frame sensor and the event sensor, allowing for simultaneous acquisition of event images and frame images. Additionally, by sending timing signals from the frame sensor to the event sensor, data synchronization has been achieved.
