DYNAMIC VISION SENSOR

This application provides a dynamic vision sensor. The sensor converts an optical signal into an electrical signal by using a photoelectric conversion unit, to generate a photovoltage; performs second-order difference on the photovoltage by using a second-order differential circuit; and generates a second-order event signal based on a result of second-order difference. A camera including the sensor can generate an image based on the second-order event signal, where the image represents a change of a light change speed. In this way, redundant background information can be reduced when the camera is moving.
