As a new type of neuromorphic sensor, the events-driven Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) has the advantages of low latency and wide dynamic range. The development of DVS overcomes the application limitations of traditional cameras in the field of high speed robots and autonomous driving. However, there are abundant unwanted noise events contained in the output of DVS, which severely affects the subsequent data-processing. To tackle the problem, a novel noise filter for DVS is proposed in this paper. Firstly, since the noise is composed of hot pixel events with high-frequency and random background activities, a time window is constructed to continuously detect hot pixels. Secondly, a spatiotemporal correlation-based denoising approach for each incoming event is conducted, while excluding its surrounding hot pixels, to avoid the negative effect caused by their high temporal correlation on the filter. Finally, the hot pixels are compensated with the events that are most probably to occur depending on the adjacent events, to achieve the completeness and precision of the output event stream. Experiments in different scenes demonstrate that the proposed noise filter can effectively eliminate the noise from the event stream of DVS and obviously outperforms the baseline method.
