• Abstract: Event cameras, with their high dynamic range (HDR) and low latency, offer a promising alternative for robust depth estimation in challenging environments. However, many event-based depth estimation approaches are constrained by small-scale annotated datasets, limiting their generalizability to real-world scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce EvtSlowTV, a large-scale event camera dataset curated from publicly available YouTube footage, which contains more than 13B events across various environmental conditions and motions, including seasonal hiking, flying, scenic driving, and underwater exploration. EvtSlowTV is an order of magnitude larger than existing event datasets, providing an unconstrained, naturalistic setting for event-based depth learning. This work shows the suitability of EvtSlowTV for a self-supervised learning framework to capitalise on the HDR potential of raw event streams. We further demonstrate that training with EvtSlowTV enhances the model's ability to generalise to complex scenes and motions. Our approach removes the need for frame-based annotations and preserves the asynchronous nature of event data.

  We propose a self-supervised event-based monocular depth estimation framework named EMoDepth.

In inference, only events are used for monocular depth prediction.

  Event cameras or dynamic vision sensors (DVS) record asynchronous response to brightness changes instead of conventional intensity frames. We propose an inventive event completion sequence approach conforming to unique characteristics of event data in both the processing stage and the output form. Specifically, we treat event streams as 3D event clouds in thetemporal domain, develop a diffusion-based generative model to generate dense clouds in a coarse-to-fine manner, and recover exact timestamps to maintain the temporal resolution of raw data successfully.

  EvDNeRF is a pipeline for generating event data and training an event-based dynamic NeRF. NeRFs offer geometric-based learnable rendering, but prior work with events has only considered reconstruction of static scenes. We show that by training on varied batch sizes of events, we can improve test-time predictions of events at fine time resolutions.
