Comparison of traditional RGB camera with event camera

Characteristics	RGB camera	Event camera
Capture method	Fixed rate full frame	Asynchronous per-pixel
Temporal resolution	Milliseconds	Microseconds
Latency	High, due to full frame capture	Low, due to asynchronous events
Data output	Fixed-frame rate with absolute brightness values	Sparse data stream encoding brightness changes
Dynamic range	Moderate, around 60 dB	Very high, around 140 dB
Power consumption	High, due to continuous processing	Low, due to sparse processing
Applications	General purpose imaging, video	High-speed vision, HDR imaging
