• Abstract: The neuromorphic event cameras, which capture the optical changes of a scene, have drawn increasing attention due to their high speed and low power consumption. However, the event data are noisy, sparse, and nonuniform in the spatial-temporal domain with an extremely high temporal resolution, making it challenging to design backend algorithms for event-based vision. Existing methods encode events into point-cloud-based or voxel-based representations, but suffer from noise and/or information loss. Additionally, there is little research that systematically studies how to handle static and dynamic scenes with one universal design for event-based vision. This work proposes the Aligned Event Tensor (AET) as a novel event data representation, and a neat framework called Event Frame Net (EFN), which enables our model for event-based vision under static and dynamic scenes. The proposed AET and EFN are evaluated on various datasets, and proved to surpass existing state-of-the-art methods by large margins. Our method is also efficient and achieves the fastest inference speed among others.

  Event cameras efficiently detect changes in ambient light with low latency and high dynamic range while consuming minimal power. Most current approach to processing event data often involves converting it into frame-based representations. Point Cloud is a popular representation for 3D processing and is better suited to match the sparse and asynchronous nature of the event camera. We propose EventMamba, an efficient and effective Point Cloud framework that achieves competitive results even compared to the state-of-the-art (SOTA) frame-based method.
