The paper introduces four new event‑based vision datasets created with the ANTShapes simulation tool, designed to support object classification research using spiking neural networks (SNNs). These datasets vary in difficulty and are benchmarked against established spiking datasets such as N‑MNIST, CIFAR10‑DVS, DVSGesture, and POKER‑DVS using a convolutional SNN. The work provides detailed, high‑quality datasets for future experiments and validates ANTShapes as a suitable tool for generating event‑based vision data.

The paper introduces the Sparse-Activation-ReLU (SAR) layer, a single‑step neural operator that promotes activation sparsity without surrogate‑gradient training and is compatible with event‑based computing. In a trunk‑based NOMAD architecture, SAR improves the combined Latency‑Error‑Energy (LEE) metric by over fivefold compared to Variable Spiking Neuron (VSN) and Leaky Integrate‑and‑Fire (LIF) models. Additional techniques such as synthetic knowledge distillation, a ReLU‑based spiking loss, and graph‑neighbor thresholding further reduce LEE and L2 error on the Heat Exchanger dataset, advancing energy‑efficient virtual sensing for edge deployment.
