Under dim lighting conditions, the output of Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) event cameras is strongly affected by noise. Photon and electron shot-noise cause a high rate of non-informative events that reduce Signal to Noise ratio. DVS noise performance depends not only on the scene illumination, but also on the user-controllable biasing of the camera. In this paper, we explore the physical limits of DVS noise, showing that the DVS photoreceptor is limited to a theoretical minimum of 2x photon shot noise, and we discuss how biasing the DVS with high photoreceptor bias and adequate source-follower bias approaches optimal noise performance. We support our conclusions with pixel-level measurements of a DAVIS346 and analysis of a theoretical pixel model.

Hybrid Event Frame Sensors: Modeling, Calibration, and Simulation
A unified, calibrated noise model for hybrid event-frame sensors is implemented in H-ESIM, a simulator that generates realistic RAW frames and events and improves downstream frame interpolation and deblurring on real ...
