Stakes of neuromorphic foveation: a promising future for embedded event cameras.

Foveation can be defined as the organic action of directing the gaze towards a visual region of interest to acquire relevant information selectively. With the recent advent of event cameras, we believe that taking advantage of this visual neuroscience mechanism would greatly improve the efficiency of event data processing. Indeed, applying foveation to event data would allow to comprehend the visual scene while significantly reducing the amount of raw data to handle.
