An Open Software Suite for Event-Based Video
Andrew C. Freeman
While traditional video representations are organized around discrete image
frames, event-based video is a new paradigm that forgoes image frames
altogether. Rather, pixel samples are temporally asynchronous and independent
of one another. Until now, researchers have lacked a cohesive software
framework for exploring the representation, compression, and applications of
event-based video. I present the AD$\Delta$ER software suite to fill this gap.
This framework includes utilities for transcoding framed and multimodal
event-based video sources to a common representation, rate control mechanisms,
lossy compression, application support, and an interactive GUI for transcoding
and playback. In this paper, I describe these various software components and
their usage.
