FLEET: Token-Based Feature Extraction for Event Camera-based Reinforcement Learning

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

FLEET is a token‑based feature extractor that processes event camera data directly, using random Fourier features and cross‑attention to compress variable‑length event streams into fixed‑size latent representations. By decoupling inference cost from sensor resolution, it avoids the high compute and temporal blurring associated with CNN‑based grid aggregation. Experiments on a new high‑throughput benchmark show that FLEET outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods and remains robust across different observation frequencies.

Low-Latency Event-Based Object Detection with Spatially-Sparse Linear Attention

The paper introduces Spatially‑Sparse Linear Attention (SSLA), a novel attention mechanism that activates only a sparse subset of spatial states, enabling efficient parallel training and inference for event‑based vision. Building on SSLA, the authors present SSLA‑Det, an end‑to‑end asynchronous linear attention model that achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on Gen1 and N‑Caltech101 while reducing per‑event computation by more than 20× compared to the strongest prior asynchronous baseline.

Efficient Multi-Timescale Event Representations for Feed-Forward Object Detection

The paper introduces a confidence‑normalized continuous multi‑timescale representation for event cameras, using logarithmic B‑spline temporal encoding and a geometry‑aware local confidence mechanism. When paired with a fixed feed‑forward EventCenterNet detector, this representation outperforms the compact CSTR representation on the PEDRo and Gen1 datasets. Additionally, a recursive exponential‑polynomial approximation is proposed to allow efficient event‑by‑event updates while maintaining detection performance.
