The NAIL Event-based Vision Benchmark Suite
The NAIL Event-based Vision Benchmark Suite
To facilite the development of event-based/-enhanced high-speed autonomy, we deliver novel challenging real-world event-based vision benchmarks. Our tasks of interest consist of state estimation (VO/VIO/SLAM), object-level Time-to-Contact (TTC) estimation and 3D object detection. To this end, we collected data (event stream, frames, and IMU measurements, etc.) that are tailored for high-speed and low-latency robotic applications. Besides providing all raw data, we provide a benchmark for each task. For each of our benchmarks, we also provide specific evaluation metrics and corresponding evaluation website.
Open Challenge Benchmarks: EvSLAM, TTC Estimation, 3D Object Detection.
