• Abstract summary: Event cameras are ideal for object tracking applications due to their ability to capture fast-moving objects. Existing event-based clustering and feature tracking approaches for surveillance and object detection work well in the majority of cases. However, the maritime environment presents unique challenges such as the tendency of waves to produce the majority of events.

• Abstract: Event cameras are ideal for object tracking applications due to their ability to capture fast-moving objects while mitigating latency and data redundancy. Existing event-based clustering and feature tracking approaches for surveillance and object detection work well in the majority of cases, but fall short in a maritime environment. Our application of maritime vessel detection and tracking requires a process that can identify features and output a confidence score representing the likelihood that the feature was produced by a vessel, which may trigger a subsequent alert or activate a classification system. However, the maritime environment presents unique challenges such as the tendency of waves to produce the majority of events, demanding the majority of computational processing and producing false positive detections. By filtering redundant events and analyzing the movement of each event cluster, we can identify and track vessels while ignoring shorter lived and erratic features such as those produced by waves.

  We tackle semi-supervised object detection based on motion cues. Recent results suggest that motion-based clustering methods can be used to pseudo-label instances of moving objects. We re-think this approach and suggest that both, object detection, as well as motion-inspired pseudo-labeling, can be tackled in a data-driven manner.

  RGB detectors still outperform event-based detectors due to sparsity of the event data and missing visual details. We develop a novel knowledge distillation approach to shrink the performance gap between these two modalities. We show that object-centric distillation allows to significantly improve the performance of the event-based student object detector.

  Event-based cameras are bio-inspired sensors that capture brightness change of every pixel in an asynchronous manner. Event streams are divided into grids in the x-y-t coordinates for both positive and negative polarity, producing a set of pillars as 3D tensor representation. Long memory is encoded in the hidden state of adaptive convLSTMs while short memory is modeled by computing spatial-temporal correlation between event pillars.
