Learning Outcomes

Participants will learn basic concepts, theoretical foundations and relevant algorithms developed in the field of event-based (i.e., neuromorphic) vision. Upon completing the module, participants will have an overview of the field, spanning from the principle of operation of event-based sensors (e.g., event-based cameras), their advantages and disadvantages, to the methods used to process their output for a target application. Participants will also be aware of the differences with standard (frame-based) computer vision, in terms of methods, performance criteria and applications.

Content

This course is the first of its kind, worldwide. To the best of the instructor's knowledge, no similar course has been offered anywhere due to the novelty of the topics covered, which have appeared in research conferences and journals over the last ten years. The topics covered include the following: Bio-inspired principle of operation of event-based (i.e., neuromorphic) sensors. Event-based feature detection and tracking. Event-based motion estimation: optical flow estimation, 3D reconstruction, camera localization and ego-motion estimation, simultaneous localization and mapping (E-SLAM). Stereo depth estimation in dynamic scenes. Image intensity reconstruction from events. Event-based pattern recognition, classification and machine learning. Event-based signal processing and filtering. Event-based sensor fusion. Event-based control. Event-based (i.e., spike-based) hardware. Novel applications in event-based vision.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The lectures will present the topics (sensors and algorithms) from a theoretical point of view, highlighting the underlying principles and mathematical tools used. Participation/interaction is encouraged and expected, including the possibility of reading assignments. Participants are expected to rehearse topics after class in preparation for the exercises. The exercises take place in parallel. They offer the participants the opportunity to get practical insights about the technology of event-based cameras. Simple event-based processing algorithms will be discussed in detail and partially implemented.
