Abstract
Embodiments are directed to vision systems. Enclosures that each include event scanners, beam generators, or frame cameras may be provided such that the event cameras or the frame cameras may be arranged to provide foveated resolution and such that the enclosures each may include an aperture that enables beams from the beam generators to scan a scene that may be in a field-of-view (FOV) of the aperture. Paths may be scanned across objects in the scene with the beams. Events may be determined based on detection of beam reflections corresponding to objects in the scene. The enclosures may be rotated to orient the apertures into a physical position for continued scanning of the objects within the FOV based on directions of travel for the objects such that the directions of travel for the objects is based on scanned trajectories.
