Abstract

Event-based cameras are devices that can be the key to solving various robotics challenges. However, unlike the Computer Vision field, research in Neuromorphic Vision does not have enough data for algorithms to be tested, evaluated, and compared to guarantee progress in the development of robust and competitive solutions. In this way, we propose the development of a framework that converts information recorded by standard RGB cameras into neuromorphic information. Using this framework, we created neuromorphic recordings from videos used in Computer Vision datasets to test and evaluate our tracking algorithm in neuromorphic recordings. We obtained an average accuracy of 95.38% in tracking the information of the five videos selected in this work.
