Object Detection Method with Spiking Neural Network Based on DT-LIF Neuron and SSD

Object Detection Method with Spiking Neural Network Based on DT-LIF Neuron and SSD

This paper proposes an object detection method with SNN based on Dynamic Threshold Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (DT-LIF) neuron and Single Shot multibox Detector (SSD). First, a DT-LIF neuron is designed, which can dynamically
adjust the threshold of neuron according to the cumulative membrane potential to drive spike activity of the
deep network and imporve the inferance speed.

Asynchronous Optimisation for Event-based Visual Odometry

Asynchronous Optimisation for Event-based Visual Odometry

This paper focuses on event-based visual odometry (VO). While existing event-driven VO pipelines have adopted continuous-time representations to asynchronously process event data, they either assume a known map, restrict the camera to planar trajectories, or integrate other sensors into the system. Towards map-free event-only monocular VO in SE(3), we propose an asynchronous structure-from-motion optimisation back-end.

Target-free Extrinsic Calibration of Event-LiDAR Dyad using Edge Correspondences

Target-free Extrinsic Calibration of Event-LiDAR Dyad using Edge Correspondences

This paper proposes a novel method to calibrate the extrinsic parameters between a dyad of an event camera and a LiDAR without the need for a calibration board or other equipment. Our approach takes advantage of the fact that when an event camera is in motion, changes in reflectivity and geometric edges in the environment trigger numerous events, which can also be captured by LiDAR.
