Abstract :
Fig. 1(a) shows the demo setup. Two DVS boards send events out through parallel buses to a merger board. This board merges all the event flow in one single AER bus, and sends it to a custom-made convolutional board, where a 2D grid array of convolution modules is implemented within a Spartan6 FPGA, as represented in Fig. 1(b) and (c). A USBAERmini2 board is used to timestamp the events coming out of the convolutional board and send them to a computer through a high-speed USB2.0 port. Finally, the output events are represented in the computer in real time using jAER software.
