• Abstract summary: Event cameras capture asynchronous events stream in which each event encodes pixel location, trigger time, and the polarity of the brightness changes. We introduce a novel graph-based framework for event cameras, namely SlideGCN. Our approach can efficiently process data event-by-event, unlock the low latency nature of events data while still maintaining the graph's structure internally.

• Abstract: Different from traditional video cameras, event cameras capture asynchronous events stream in which each event encodes pixel location, trigger time, and the polarity of the brightness changes. In this paper, we introduce a novel graph-based framework for event cameras, namely SlideGCN. Unlike some recent graph-based methods that use groups of events as input, our approach can efficiently process data event-by-event, unlock the low latency nature of events data while still maintaining the graph's structure internally. For fast graph construction, we develop a radius search algorithm, which better exploits the partial regular structure of event cloud against k-d tree based generic methods. Experiments show that our method reduces the computational complexity up to 100 times with respect to current graph-based methods while keeping state-of-the-art performance on object recognition. Moreover, we verify the superiority of event-wise processing with our method. When the state becomes stable, we can give a prediction with high confidence, thus making an early recognition.

  Bio-inspired neuromorphic cameras asynchronously record pixel brightness changes and generate sparse event streams. Due to the multidimensional address-event structure, most existing vision algorithms cannot properly handle asynchronous event streams. We propose a new graph representation of the event data and couple it with a Graph Transformer to perform accurate neuromorphic classification.
