obstacle avoidance. This paper proposes the combination of a bio-inspired, redundancy-
suppressing dynamic vision sensor (DVS) with a pulsed line laser to allow fast terrain
reconstruction. A stable laser stripe extraction is achieved by exploiting the sensor's ability to
capture the temporal dynamics in a scene. An adaptive temporal filter for the sensor output
allows a reliable reconstruction of 3D terrain surfaces. Laser stripe extractions up to pulsing …
