The invention provides a method and an apparatus for extractign a static pattern based on output of an event-based sensor. The invention provides the method of extracting a static pattern from an output of an event-based sensor. The method may include receiving an event signal from the event-based sensor in response to dynamic input, and extracting a static pattern associated with the dynamic input based on an identifier and time included in the event signal. The static pattern may be extracted from a map generated based on the identifier and time.
