Towards SLAM with an events-based camera

Event-based cameras have an incredible potential in real-time and real-world robotics. They would enable more efficient algorithms in applications where high demanding requirements, such as rapid dynamic motion and high dynamic range, make standard cameras run into problems rapid dynamic motion and...
