The GenX320 is a 320x320 6.3μm pixel BSI stacked event-based Metavision? sensor, designed
for embedded vision and many power-sensitive applications. The GenX320 was designed
with the explicit goal to improve integrability and usability in at-the-edge vision systems.
This includes event data pre-processing and formatting, data interface compatibility and lowlatency connectivity to different processing platforms including latest low-power, neuromorphic
processors. The sensor has been optimized for very low power operation, featuring a hierarchy of
application-specific power modes. The GenX320 contains an integrated Event Signal Processing
(ESP) pipeline which includes timestamping, filtering, throughput regulation and data formatting
functions. An Event Rate Controller (ERC) allows to cap the output event rate to a programmable
limit. A Spatio-Temporal Contrast filter (STC) detects and removes redundant bursts and trails of
events triggered by high contrast features in the scene. An Anti-Flicker (AFK) filter detects and
filters events generated by flickering lights. The stop-band frequency can be set in the range of
50-500 Hz with arbitrary spans.
