Prophesee Metavision IMX636 is the flagship event-based (DVS) sensor co-produced by Sony Semiconductor Solutions and Prophesee. Unlike classical CMOS cameras, IMX636 does not capture full frames - each of the 1280 x 720 pixels emits asynchronous brightness-change events with microsecond temporal resolution, equivalent to up to 10000 fps effective rate at a very low data budget.
A dynamic range over 120 dB enables operation under harsh lighting (sun in the lens, dark warehouse), and the absence of motion blur simplifies ego-motion estimation and SLAM algorithms. In humanoid robotics IMX636 is used for ultra-fast manipulation (ball catching, object balancing), collision detection, and motor vibration monitoring. The sensor is available in the Prophesee EVK4 HD evaluation kit and OEM modules from Sony partners.
serves as: Sensing, Perception, Computer vision processing, Visual Feedback.
