AFOD: An Adaptable Framework for Object Detection in Event-based Vision

Event-based vision is a novel bio-inspired vision that has attracted the interest of many researchers. As a neuromorphic vision, the sensor is different from the traditional frame-based cameras. It has such advantages that conventional frame-based cameras can’t match, e.g., high temporal resolution, high dynamic range(HDR), sparse and minimal motion blur. Recently, a lot of computer vision approaches have been proposed with demonstrated success. However, there is a lack of some general methods to expand the scope of the application of event-based vision. To be able to effectively bridge the gap between conventional computer vision and event-based vision, in this paper, we propose an adaptable framework for object detection in event-based vision.
