Bend the Clock: Predicting Ahead to Beat Latency in Event-Based Object Detection

The paper introduces ChronoFuse, a causal availability-time detector that predicts object states at the time its output becomes available rather than at the observation timestamp, addressing the latency mismatch in event-based multi-object detection. ChronoFuse performs lightweight cross-time fusion over a multi-scale feature hierarchy, adding only 0.17 M parameters and 0.84 ms latency overhead. It recovers a large portion of accuracy lost to latency, achieving up to 20.95 sAP on EV‑Flying data compared to 2.25 sAP for the strongest standard detector.

Readout and Operating-Point Sensitivity in Event-Stream Candidate Selection

The paper evaluates how readout settings and operating points affect event-stream candidate selection in event-triggered recording. Using 520 DailyDVS‑200 clips and 47 participants, the authors compare several encoder configurations—including DINO‑CLS, patch mean, and MobileNetV3‑Small—across different accumulation durations and view counts, reporting metrics such as target capture, false triggers, and partial AUC. The study finds that lightweight baselines and specific operating points significantly influence performance, while no clear advantage is observed for the JEPA‑specific method.

SteelBench: Evaluating Vision-Language Models in Real-World Industrial Environments

Existing video benchmarks evaluate action recognition on consumer videos, egocentric recordings, or simulated industrial environments. They do not test vision-language models under the visual and procedural conditions of real industrial CCTV, where workers appear as distant figures amid dust, steam, low light, glare, occlusion, and overlapping activities.

Selective Event Evidence and Persistent Temporal Priors for Event-Based Point Tracking

Selective Event Evidence and Persistent Temporal Priors (SEPT) is an event‑only framework designed to track points over long sequences by selectively weighting informative event evidence and maintaining trajectory constraints across overlapping temporal windows. It introduces Task‑Adaptive Event Evidence Modulation (TEEM), which learns a reliability field to weight the event tensor before feature extraction, and Persistent Trajectory Prior (PTP), which propagates geometric information using a local quadratic trajectory model with visibility‑aware corrections. Trained solely on synthetic EventKubric data, SEPT outperforms the retrained ETAP baseline and several event‑plus‑frame methods on multiple TAP and feature‑tracking datasets, with source code publicly available.

SEE Challenge 2026: Event-Guided Brightness Adjustment Across a Broad Illumination Range

The SEE Challenge 2026 invites participants to restore RGB images using synchronized event camera data and a target brightness statistic across a wide illumination range. Using the SEE-600K dataset of 610,126 image‑event pairs from 202 real‑world scenes, teams compete under an open‑system protocol, with PSNR as the primary ranking metric and SSIM as a secondary measure. Fifteen valid submissions were evaluated, revealing closely spaced top scores and consistent local errors under severe underexposure, while the report also examines exposure subsets, semantic test cases, shared failure patterns, and system design choices.

Smart Surveillance: Deep Learning and Hybrid Approaches for Dynamic Scene Analysis, Object Detection and Motion Tracking

The paper evaluates event-triggered recording strategies for static surveillance cameras, comparing six motion-based triggers, a CNN detector, strided detection, and hybrid approaches on a benchmark of seven scenes. Detector-based triggers reduce idle frame storage to 19‑28% versus 36‑89% for motion triggers, and remain robust under camera jitter, keeping under 29% idle frames. In addition, the study shows that increasing YOLO11n input resolution improves detection accuracy more than larger models, and that longer track memory boosts tracking IDF1, though detection remains the limiting factor.

REACT: A Fully Spiking State-Space Model for Real-Time Event-Driven Temporal Perception

REACT is a fully spiking state‑space model that processes raw event‑camera data one event at a time, avoiding temporal accumulation and its associated delay. It employs a complex‑valued spiking neuron (C‑SiLIF) whose dynamics are driven by the inter‑event interval, enabling continuous‑time state updates at microsecond resolution. Evaluated on gesture recognition and time‑to‑collision estimation, REACT achieves low latency (4.6 ms) and high accuracy, supports anytime prediction, zero‑shot transfer, and INT8 quantization, dramatically reducing energy consumption.
