Abstract

Neuromorphic cameras are capable of processing large amounts of information through asynchronously recording changes in photon levels across every pixel. Due to their recent insertion into the commercial market, research that characterizes these types of cameras is just emerging. Determining sensor capabilities outside a laboratory environment allows for understanding future applications of this technology. An experiment was made with the purpose of determining if the camera could detect laser scatter within the atmosphere and determine information about the laser. Experimentation in real-world environments observed that the camera can distinguish laser scatter with environmental backdrops at varying distances, determine the repetition frequency of the laser, and draw preliminary angle determination data.
