SENSOR CONTROL APPARATUS, SENSOR CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

A sensor control apparatus includes a readout control circuit and a region setting circuit. The readout control circuit controls an event-driven vision sensor including a sensor array that includes sensors that generate event signals when a change in incident light intensity is detected, in such a manner that the event signals are read out at a first frequency in a first region on the sensor array and that the event signals are read out at a second frequency higher than the first frequency in a second region on the sensor array. The region setting circuit changes at least part of the first region to the second region on the basis of the number of first event signals acquired by the readout in the first region within a given period of time or changes at least part of the second region to the first region on the basis of the number of second event signals acquired by the readout in the second region within the given period of time.
