![High dynamic range of neuromorphic camera: (a) Image of the Trapezium cluster formed by accumulating events in 200ms window from the neuromorphic camera with a slewing telescope, where red represents positive events and green indicates negative vents. (b) Optical image of the Trapezium star cluster observed through the Hubble Space Telescope [86]. (c) Image of Vega and a nearby faint star, ∼ 200′′ apart, demonstrating a dynamic range exceeding 100dB. (d) High dynamic imaging of star Betelgeuse, with a neighbouring faint star visible at roughly ∼ 170′′ distance. -- astro-ph.IM](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Neuromorphic-Cameras-in-Astronomy.png?resize=1200%2C719&ssl=1)
To deepen our understanding of optical astronomy, we must advance imaging technology to overcome conventional frame-based cameras’ limited dynamic range and temporal resolution. Our Perspective paper examines how neuromorphic cameras […]
