ED-DCFNet: An Unsupervised Encoder-Decoder Neural Model for Event-Driven Feature Extraction and Object Tracking
Abstract
Neuromorphic cameras feature asynchronous event-based pixel-level processing and are particularly useful for object tracking in dynamic environments. Current approaches for feature extraction and optical flow with high-performing hybrid RGB-events vision systems require large computational models and supervised learning, which impose challenges for embedded vision and require annotated datasets. In this work, we propose ED-DCFNet, a small and efficient (< 72k) unsupervised multi-domain learning framework, which extracts events-frames shared features without requiring annotations, with comparable performance. Furthermore, we introduce an open-sourced event and frame-based dataset that captures indoor scenes with various lighting and motion-type conditions in realistic scenarios, which can be used for model building and evaluation. The dataset is available at https://github.com/NBELab/UnsupervisedTracking.
