Reliable and fast sensing are the keys to implement effective high-speed obstacle avoidance strategies in modern quadrotors. A class of bio-inspired sensors, commonly called as event cameras, are suitable for this application. It can generate events at microsecond resolution. Output data rate of events depends on the texture and relative speed between the object and camera. Event cameras are good at capturing small changes, but data output lacks the low-level scene details. In this paper, we present an algorithm that fuses the low temporal resolution data from the depth camera with an event camera to compute time-to-contact (TTC) with an obstacle. In this approach, we use low-frequency information from depth camera to identify a dynamic obstacle and use event stream to perform TTC computation. This algorithm is integrated in Airsim simulator and tested with dynamic obstacle in various collision scenarios.
