Event-based adaptation of coding parameters for video image encoding

The present disclosure relates to encoding of video image using coding parameters, which are adapted based on events related to motion within the video image. Image content is captured by a standard image sensor and an event-triggered sensor, providing an event-signal indicating changes (e.g. amount and time-spatial location) of image intensity. Objects are detected within the video image, based on the event signal assessing motion of the object, and their textures extracted. The spatial-time coding parameters of the video image are determined based on the location and strength of the event signal, and the extent to which the detected objects moves.
