Event-Based Vision

Definition

Event-Based Vision is neuromorphic camera processing that reacts to pixel-level brightness changes instead of full frames. In defense applications, it captures fast motion with low power and high dynamic range for intercepts or collision avoidance. The hard part is unfamiliar data formats and weaker mature tooling than frame cameras, especially when systems are deployed across contested links, coalition boundaries, and mixed human-machine teams. KhanBMS treats it as an edge sensor option for fast KhanBMS autonomous maneuvers, tying the concept back to modular command, edge execution, and auditable authority.
