Abstract

A method for ascertaining a physical property of an object. The method includes detecting, for each input point in time of a sequence of input points in time, sensor data including information about a physical object, using an event-based sensor; for each subsequence of a breakdown of the sequence of input points in time into multiple subsequences including: feeding the sensor data detected for the input points in time of the subsequence to a pulsed neural network which generates a first processing result of the subsequence; feeding the processing result of the subsequence to a non-pulsed neural network; and processing the processing result of the subsequence by non-pulsed neurons of one or multiple first layer(s) of the non-pulsed neural network for generating a second processing result of the subsequence; and feeding the second processing results of the multiple subsequences to one or multiple second layer(s) of the non-pulsed neural network.
