Real-time Unsupervised Object Discovery from Asynchronous Event Streams

The paper presents a lightweight, training‑free framework for real‑time unsupervised object discovery from asynchronous event camera streams. It introduces a linear‑time Spatio‑Temporal Probabilistic Event Filter (SPEF) that adaptively distinguishes salient motion from noise, and an Event Morton Code Clustering (EMCC) module that efficiently groups events without costly distance calculations. Experiments on E‑MLB, FRED, and eTraM datasets show SPEF outperforms classical filters and competes with learning‑based methods, while EMCC achieves the highest accuracy and fastest execution among density‑based clustering baselines.

Deflickering Vision-Based Occupancy Networks through Lightweight Spatio-Temporal Correlation

The paper introduces OccLinker, a lightweight plugin for vision‑based occupancy networks that reduces flickering by efficiently merging historical static and motion cues with current features via a dual cross‑attention mechanism. It generates correction components to refine base network predictions and proposes a new temporal consistency metric to quantify flickering. Experiments on two benchmark datasets show that OccLinker improves performance with minimal computational overhead while effectively diminishing flickering artifacts.

Low-Latency Event-Based Object Detection with Spatially-Sparse Linear Attention

The paper introduces Spatially‑Sparse Linear Attention (SSLA), a novel attention mechanism that activates only a sparse subset of spatial states, enabling efficient parallel training and inference for event‑based vision. Building on SSLA, the authors present SSLA‑Det, an end‑to‑end asynchronous linear attention model that achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on Gen1 and N‑Caltech101 while reducing per‑event computation by more than 20× compared to the strongest prior asynchronous baseline.

Efficient Multi-Timescale Event Representations for Feed-Forward Object Detection

The paper introduces a confidence‑normalized continuous multi‑timescale representation for event cameras, using logarithmic B‑spline temporal encoding and a geometry‑aware local confidence mechanism. When paired with a fixed feed‑forward EventCenterNet detector, this representation outperforms the compact CSTR representation on the PEDRo and Gen1 datasets. Additionally, a recursive exponential‑polynomial approximation is proposed to allow efficient event‑by‑event updates while maintaining detection performance.

Cooking beyond Frames: A Stereo Event Camera Dataset in the Kitchen

Event cameras, also known as neuromorphic cameras, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their high temporal resolution, high dynamic range, and low power consumption. While many studies and datasets in neuromorphic vision have focused on automotive and drone applications, human-centric daily-life scenarios remain largely underrepresented, despite their importance for developing and benchmarking event-based perception systems.
