DAPEVO: Deep Adaptive Patch Frame-Event Visual Odometry

DAPEVO is a learned visual odometry system that independently estimates image and event correspondences at shared patch locations and fuses their correlation evidence before motion refinement. It maintains image and event descriptors for each tracked patch, using a learned scalar gate to combine modality-specific correlation embeddings for each patch–frame edge, followed by a shared recurrent refinement and bundle‑adjustment update. The method supports event‑only observations and modality‑aware keyframe culling, achieving low trajectory error even when RGB frames are sparse or degraded, outperforming DPVO, RAMP‑VO, and event‑only DEVO on UZH‑FPV and TartanEvent datasets.

Minimal Solvers for Full-DoF Motion Estimation from Asynchronous Differential SfM

The paper introduces a new framework for estimating full-degree-of-freedom egomotion directly from asynchronous optical flow captured by event cameras. By decoupling the differential epipolar constraint into angular and linear components and applying a first-order approximation, the authors derive a polynomial formulation that yields the first algebraic minimal 5‑point solver for this problem. An accelerated solver that truncates high‑order angular velocity terms is also proposed, enabling real‑time performance in high‑speed scenarios, and extensive tests show superior accuracy and robustness compared to traditional synchronous methods.
