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.

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.

Decentralized Vision-Based Autonomous Aerial Wildlife Monitoring

The paper introduces a decentralized, vision-based system using multiple quadrotors equipped with a single RGB camera for monitoring wildlife. It emphasizes scalability, low bandwidth, and minimal sensor requirements, enabling robust identification and tracking of large species in natural habitats. The authors present novel coordination and tracking algorithms that operate without centralized communication, and validate the approach with real-world field experiments.

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.

PuTR-CouT: Counting-by-Tracking in Camera-Trap Image Sequences

PuTR-CouT is a transformer‑based counting‑by‑tracking framework designed for camera‑trap image sequences. It generates synthetic training data using structural priors to create pseudo‑tracking labels, enabling the tracker to associate detections across frames and estimate per‑species counts. The method improves upon the MaxBoxCount baseline on the iWildCam 2021 benchmark, offering competitive counting results along with multi‑species predictions and track‑level verification.
