Cornelia Fermüller, a research scientist in the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS), co-organized the 5th International Workshop on Event-Based Vision held in conjunction with the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) in Nashville, Tennessee.
The workshop, held on June 12, brought together researchers and practitioners focused on event-based and neuromorphic vision. This rapidly growing field leverages bio-inspired sensors to capture only dynamic changes in a scene, mimicking how the human eye perceives motion. This year’s program included peer-reviewed research papers, live demonstrations, poster presentations, and several international competitions to benchmark progress and foster collaboration across academia and industry.
“A highlight of the workshop was the strong industry participation, with leaders presenting on the transformative potential of event-based vision for robotics, augmented and virtual reality, and intelligent surveillance,” says Fermüller.
Additional topics included cutting-edge algorithms for 3D motion estimation, brain-inspired software-hardware solutions, and the integration of event vision in tactile sensing.
Among the invited speakers was Christopher Metzler, an assistant professor of computer science at the Unviersity of Maryland with an appointment in UMIACS, who showcased his lab’s advances in computational photography using event-based sensors.
