VK-SITS: a Robust Time-Surface for Fast Event-Based Recognition
Résumé
Event-based cameras are non-conventional sensors
that offer movement perception with high dynamic range, high
temporal resolution, high power efficiency, and low latency.
Nevertheless, because event data are asynchronous and sparse,
traditional machine learning and deep learning tools are not
suited for this data format. A common practice in event representation learning is to generate image-like representations,
usually referred to as time-surfaces. In this paper, we focus on
the VK-SITS representation, an end-to-end trainable, spatial and
speed-invariant time-surface. We perform additional experiments
and an analysis of the influence of meta-parameters to show that
VK-SITS is a generic event representation by evaluating it on
a new recognition task (SL-Animals-DVS), and give additional
intuitions to the choice of its meta-parameters. Results show that
VK-SITS is a generic event representation for which optimization
of parameters is robust regardless of the split utilized to optimize
parametrization
