Nactive(t)N_{\mathrm{active}}(t)

Why this formula appears here

where Nactive(t)N_{\mathrm{active}}(t) , the number of pixels crossing threshold at a given instant, is normally far smaller than the total pixel count NpixelsN_{\mathrm{pixels}} for a mostly-static scene. That scene-dependence is also the sensor’s clearest limitation rather than a free efficiency gain: because each pixel’s operating principle is defined by Gallego and colleagues as asynchronously measuring per-pixel brightness change and encoding “the time, location and sign” of that change [ 3 ] , a highly textured, fast-moving, or vibrating scene drives Nactive(t)N_{\mathrm{active}}(t) toward NpixelsN_{\mathrm{pixels}} , and the bandwidth and power advantage over a frame sensor narrows or disappears for exactly the scenes…
