1. A method of recognizing an object, the method comprising: controlling an event-based vision sensor to perform sampling in a first mode and to output first event signals based on the sampling in the first mode; determining whether object recognition is to be performed based on the first event signals; controlling the event-based vision sensor to perform sampling in a second mode and to output second event signals based on the sampling in the second mode in response to the determining indicating that the object recognition is to be performed; and performing the object recognition based on the second event signals.
