Beyond Discretization: A Continuous-Time Framework for Event Generation in Neuromorphic Pixels (2504.02803v1)

Abstract: A novel continuous-time framework is proposed for modeling neuromorphic image sensors in the form of an initial canonical representation with analytical tractability. Exact simulation algorithms are developed in parallel with closed-form expressions that characterize the model's dynamics. This framework enables the generation of synthetic event streams in genuine continuous-time, which combined with the analytical results, reveal the underlying mechanisms driving the oscillatory behavior of event data presented in the literature.
