Optical-Flow Wingbeat Counting in MuJoCo: A Comparison of Convolutional, Spiking, and Attention-Based Temporal Models

The paper evaluates optical‑flow based wingbeat counting on simulated Crazyflie vehicles using MuJoCo. Three temporal models—causal temporal convolution, leaky integrate‑and‑fire spiking, and causal self‑attention—were combined with a shared convolutional encoder and tested on 1,440 clips at 1.5 m and 3.0 m distances. Exact‑count accuracies ranged from 92.22 % to 96.67 %, with no significant differences between models, and the study highlights the need to report both total counts and event‑level timing.

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.

LPA-CWM: A Learned Physical Adjudicator for Motion Reasoning with Counterfactual World Models

LPA-CWM introduces a Learned Physical Adjudicator (LPA) to improve counterfactual world models (CWM) for motion reasoning by learning to weight candidate responses based on visual context and response structure. The 3.0M‑parameter LPA is trained on dense MOVi‑F trajectories while keeping the CWM predictor and intervention generator frozen. A new Completeness‑aware Motion Correspondence (CMC) protocol evaluates localization, trajectory completeness, visibility, and continuity, and LPA‑CWM achieves significant gains on DAVIS and Kinetics subsets.
