Project Synopsis

Neuromorphic vision sensors have several advantages over high-speed cameras, including high dynamic range and low data output, making them ideal for lighting observations. This project is exploring the observation of lightning with neuromorphic vision sensors, both terrestrially and from space. This project aims to provide complementary evidence to the current pool of observations to better understand the physical behaviour of lightning.
