• Authors: Maria Zafeiri, Georgios Evangelidis, Emmanouil Psarakis,
• Abstract summary: We propose a tracking algorithm that computes a 2D motion warp per single event, called event-ECC (eECC) The computational burden of event-wise processing is alleviated through a lightweight version that benefits from incremental processing and updating scheme. We report improvements in tracking accuracy and feature age over state-of-the-art event-based asynchronous trackers.

• Abstract: In this paper, an event-based tracker is presented. Inspired by recent advances in asynchronous processing of individual events, we develop a direct matching scheme that aligns spatial distributions of events at different times. More specifically, we adopt the Enhanced Correlation Coefficient (ECC) criterion and propose a tracking algorithm that computes a 2D motion warp per single event, called event-ECC (eECC). The complete tracking of a feature along time is cast as a \emph{single} iterative continuous optimization problem, whereby every single iteration is executed per event. The computational burden of event-wise processing is alleviated through a lightweight version that benefits from incremental processing and updating scheme. We test the proposed algorithm on publicly available datasets and we report improvements in tracking accuracy and feature age over state-of-the-art event-based asynchronous trackers.

  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.

  Event sensing is a major component in bio-inspired flight guidance and control systems. We explore the usage of event cameras for predicting time-to-contact with the surface during ventral landing. This is achieved by estimating divergence (inverse TTC), which is the rate of radial optic flow, from the event stream generated during landing. Our core contributions are a novel contrast maximisation formulation for event-based divergence estimation, and a branch-and-bound algorithm to exactly maximise contrast and find the optimal divergence value.

  Event cameras can capture pixel-level illumination changes with very high temporal resolution and dynamic range. Two main approaches exist to feed the event-based processing algorithms: packaging the triggered events in event packages and sending them one-by-one as single events. This paper presents ASAP, an adaptive scheme to manage the event stream through variable-size packages that accommodate the event package processing times.
