Helios: An extremely low power event-based gesture recognition for always-on smart eyewear

This paper introduces Helios, the first extremely low-power, real-time, event-based hand gesture recognition system designed for all-day on smart eyewear. Helios can recognize seven classes of gestures, including subtle microgestures like swipes and pinches, with 91% accuracy. We also demonstrate real-time performance across 20 users at a remarkably low latency of 60ms.

SEVD: Synthetic Event-based Vision Dataset for Ego and Fixed Traffic Perception

SEVD: Synthetic Event-based Vision Dataset for Ego and Fixed Traffic Perception

In this paper, we present SEVD, a first-of-its-kind multi-view ego, and fixed perception synthetic event-based dataset using multiple dynamic vision sensors within the CARLA simulator. We evaluate the dataset using state-of-the-art event-based (RED, RVT) and frame-based (YOLOv8) methods for traffic participant detection tasks and provide baseline benchmarks for assessment.

Optimization of Event Camera Bias Settings for a Neuromorphic Driver Monitoring System

Optimization of Event Camera Bias Settings for a Neuromorphic Driver Monitoring System

This research is the first to investigate the impact of bias modifications on the event-based DMS output and propose an approach for evaluating and comparing DMS performance. The study investigates the impact of pixel-bias alteration on DMS features, which are: face tracking, blink counting, head pose and gaze estimation. The results indicate that the DMS’s functioning is enhanced with proper bias tuning based on the proposed metrics.
