Description

We propose a stabilization method for event cameras mounted onboard flapping-wing robots. Differently from frame-based cameras, event cameras do not suffer for motion blur that typically occurs due to strong changes in the camera orientation. The method intends to offer an alternative to heavy gimbals mounted on ornithopters. It has been tested on event data acquired by a large-scale ornithopter (1.5m wingspan).
