For other applications, one might combine different imaging approaches.  Consider the juxtaposition of three methods shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/downloads.prophesee.ai\/website\/2025\/04\/Eoptic-Prophesee-event-camera-drone-detection.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Visible, polarization, and event-based approaches &#8211; Courtesy Prophesee and EOPTIC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The multimodal approach above is utilized in a proprietary system developed by EOPTIC, in which visible, polarization, and event-based sensors are integrated.  For certain applications one may require the best of speed, detail, and situational awareness, for automated &#8220;confidence&#8221; and accuracy, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s another side-by-side video on drone detection and tracking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/downloads.prophesee.ai\/website\/2025\/03\/Neurobus-Prophesee-event-based-vision-drone-detection.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Visible vs. (hybrid) event-based imaging &#8211; Courtesy Prophesee and NEUROBUS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The above-left video uses conventional frame-based imaging, where it&#8217;s pretty hard to see the drone until it rises above the trees.
