On the Cover
Developers of vision-enabled systems are seeking ways to
transform the traditional approach to vision sensing and
data acquisition. Learn more in the feature on page 10,
how biologically inspired " neuromorphic " event-based
vision systems are now emerging as alternatives offering
enhanced speed, minimal latency, better power efficiency,
and broader dynamic range for various machine vision
applications.
