Automotive Object Detection via Learning Sparse Events by Spiking Neurons

Automotive Object Detection via Learning Sparse Events by Spiking Neurons

This paper explores the unique membrane potential dynamics of SNNs and their ability to modulate sparse events. We introduce an innovative spike-triggered adaptive threshold mechanism designed for stable training. Building on these insights, we present a specialized spiking feature pyramid network (SpikeFPN) optimized for automotive event-based object detection.

Event-based Motion-Robust Accurate Shape Estimation for Mixed Reflectance Scenes

Event-based Motion-Robust Accurate Shape Estimation for Mixed Reflectance Scenes

In this paper, we present a novel event-based structured light system that enables fast 3D imaging of mixed reflectance scenes with high accuracy. On the captured events, we use epipolar constraints that intrinsically enable decomposing the measured reflections into diffuse, two-bounce specular, and other multi-bounce reflections.

Multi-Robot, Multi-Sensor, Multi-Environment Event Dataset

Multi-Robot, Multi-Sensor, Multi-Environment Event Dataset

We present M3ED, the first multi-sensor event camera dataset focused on high-speed dynamic motions in robotics applications. M3ED provides high-quality synchronized and labeled data from multiple platforms, including ground vehicles, legged robots, and aerial robots (drones), operating in challenging conditions such as driving along off-road trails, navigating through dense forests, and executing aggressive flight maneuvers.
