In this paper, we present a simple event-oriented algorithm for detection of pixel-size signals with a known frequency, by the novel technology of an event camera. In addition, we analyze the ability of the algorithm to filter out the desired periodic signals from random fluctuations. We demonstrate this ability and show how the algorithm can distinguish, during twilight, between the signals of a streetlight that flicker with frequency of 100 Hz, and sun glitter originating from windows in far-away buildings in the field of view.
