Abstract

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$Δ$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.
