Geometric-Photometric Event-based 3D Gaussian Ray Tracing

The paper introduces GPERT, a framework that separates event-based 3D Gaussian Splatting into two rendering branches: event-by-event geometry rendering and snapshot-based radiance rendering. By employing ray-tracing and warped event images, GPERT balances accuracy and temporal resolution, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on real‑world datasets and competitive performance on synthetic data. The method operates without pretrained models or COLMAP initialization, offers flexible event selection, and produces sharp reconstructions of scene edges with rapid training.

An Event Preserving Velocity Invariant Representation for Event Cameras

The paper introduces SCARF, a real‑time velocity‑invariant representation for event cameras that preserves raw events while handling fast motion, stationary scenes, and independently moving objects. Unlike previous methods that convert events into image‑like forms and lose temporal detail, SCARF maintains temporal information and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance in computational efficiency and representation quality.

EvLIR: Learning Illumination Residuals from Ordered Events for Low-Light Image Enhancement

Low-light image enhancement is severely ill-posed when the input frame contains missing structure, saturated noise, and weak local contrast. Event cameras provide asynchronous brightness-change observations with high temporal resolution, but prior works often treat voxel channels as an unordered or static feature stack before fusion, rather than explicitly modeling their within-window temporal evolution, weakening the temporal evidence that makes events useful.

Field Tracking of Insects Using a Stereoscopic Event-Based Camera Setup

The paper presents a method for tracking insects in the field using a stereoscopic event-based camera setup. By converting asynchronous events into conventional video formats, the authors combine the high temporal resolution of event cameras with standard video processing techniques to capture detailed insect flight movements. The stereoscopic configuration enables continuous, low‑latency 3D tracking, reducing motion blur and improving accuracy in natural environments.

Hybrid Event Frame Sensors: Modeling, Calibration, and Simulation

Hybrid event-frame sensors combine an Event Vision Sensor (EVS) and an Active Pixel Sensor (APS) on a single chip, offering high dynamic range, low latency, and rich spatial intensity data. The paper introduces a unified statistics-based noise model that captures photon shot noise, dark current noise, fixed-pattern noise, and quantization noise for both APS and EVS pixels, and links EVS noise to illumination and dark current. It also presents a calibration pipeline to estimate these noise parameters from real data and proposes H-ESIM, a simulator that generates realistic RAW frames and events, validated on two hybrid sensors for tasks such as video frame interpolation and deblurring.
