  \n\nTitle:\nEvent Based Sensors – A Multi-Tool for Optical Communicati
 ons, Active Imaging, and Compressive Sensing\n\nAbstract:\nEvent-Based Sen
 sors (EBS) were among the first technologies developed as part of the emer
 gence of neuromorphic engineering and were the first to reach commercial v
 iability. Boasting remarkable dynamic range (>120dB), HD formats (>1Mpix),
  sparse data outputs, and high-temporal resolution (~1MHz) – all within 
 a low SWaP-C package – these sensors have provided previously unimaginab
 le capability for applications spanning from applied science to systems en
 gineering. However, these benefits do not come for free and stem from a se
 t of design choices which create their own unique set of challenges relate
 d to optical system characterization, algorithmic implementation, and data
  interpretation. I’ll discuss our approaches to solving these problems a
 nd showcase some of the applications (event-based active imaging, spatiall
 y resolved optical comms, and UAV tracking) we’ve developed based on tho
 se solutions. Along the way, I’ll introduce techniques and concepts such
  as the shifting-sine method, event-based temporal super resolution, and c
 ompressive-sensing.\n
