• Abstract: Conventional frame-based cameras face significant challenges in detecting objects under high-speed motion blur or in low-light environments. Neuromorphic cameras provide asynchronous visual streams with high temporal resolution and a wide dynamic range, offering a promising solution for object detection under challenging conditions. Despite the development of numerous models and the emergence of various applications in neuromorphic object detection, there is still a lack of deep understanding and standardized benchmarks to assess progress and address key challenges. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey and benchmark of existing neuromorphic object detection algorithms. Specifically, we first present a problem description, review the available datasets, and revisit the evaluation metrics. We then explore existing neuromorphic object detection approaches from various perspectives, including event representation, temporal modeling, multimodal fusion, asynchronous processing, low-latency processing, and energy-efficient computing. Furthermore, we evaluate a wide range of representative neuromorphic object detection models and offer detailed analyses of the comparative results. Finally, we discuss unresolved issues in neuromorphic object detection and propose potential future research directions. We hope this survey and benchmark will be a valuable resource for researchers and provide guidance for future advancements in neuromorphic object detection.
