Event cameras are bio-inspired sensors that differ from conventional frame cameras: Instead of capturing images at a fixed rate, they asynchronously measure per-pixel brightness changes, and output a stream of events that encode the time, location and sign of the brightness changes. Event cameras offer attractive properties compared to traditional cameras: high temporal resolution (in the order of microseconds), very high dynamic range (140 dB vs. 60 dB), low power consumption, and high pixel bandwidth (on the order of kHz) resulting in reduced motion blur. Hence, event cameras have a large potential for robotics and computer vision in challenging scenarios for traditional cameras, such as low-latency, high speed, and high dynamic range. However, novel methods are required to process the unconventional output of these sensors in order to unlock their potential. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of event-based vision, with a focus on the applications and the algorithms developed to unlock the outstanding properties of event cameras. We present event cameras from their working principle, the actual sensors that are available and the tasks that they have been used for, from low-level vision (feature detection and tracking, optic flow, etc.) to high-level vision (reconstruction, segmentation, recognition). We also discuss the techniques developed to process events, including learning-based techniques, as well as specialized processors for these novel sensors, such as spiking neural networks. Additionally, we highlight the challenges that remain to be tackled and the opportunities that lie ahead in the search for a more efficient, bio-inspired way for machines to perceive and interact with the world.

Transformer, first applied to the field of natural language processing, is a type of deep neural network mainly based on the self-attention mechanism. Thanks to its strong representation capabilities, researchers are looking at ways to apply transfor mer to computer vision tasks. In a variety of visual benchmarks, transformer-based models perform similar to or better than other types of networks such as convolutional and recurrent networks. Given its high performance and less need for vision-specific inductive bias, transformer is receiving more and more attention from the computer vision community. In this paper, we review these vision transformer models by categorizing them in different tasks and analyzing their advantages and disadvantages. The main categories we explore include the backbone network, high/mid-level vision, low-level vision, and video processing. We also include efficient transformer methods for pushing transformer into real device-based applications. Furthermore, we also take a brief look at the self-attention mechanism in computer vision, as it is the base component in transformer. Toward the end of this paper, we discuss the challenges and provide several further research directions for vision transformers.
Unlike conventional frame-based sensors, event-based visual sensors output information through spikes at a high temporal resolution. By only encoding changes in pixel intensity, they showcase a low-power consuming, low-latency approach to visual info rmation sensing. To use this information for higher sensory tasks like object recognition and tracking, an essential simplification step is the extraction and learning of features. An ideal feature descriptor must be robust to changes involving (i) local transformations and (ii) re-appearances of a local event pattern. To that end, we propose a novel spatiotemporal feature representation learning algorithm based on slow feature analysis (SFA). Using SFA, smoothly changing linear projections are learnt which are robust to local visual transformations. In order to determine if the features can learn to be invariant to various visual transformations, feature point tracking tasks are used for evaluation. Extensive experiments across two datasets demonstrate the adaptability of the spatiotemporal feature learner to translation, scaling and rotational transformations of the feature points. More importantly, we find that the obtained feature representations are able to exploit the high temporal resolution of such event-based cameras in generating better feature tracks.

This survey reviews explainability methods for vision-based self-driving systems. The concept of explainability has several facets and the need for explainability is strong in driving, a safety-critical application. Gathering contributions from sever al research fields, namely computer vision, deep learning, autonomous driving, explainable AI (X-AI), this survey tackles several points. First, it discusses definitions, context, and motivation for gaining more interpretability and explainability from self-driving systems. Second, major recent state-of-the-art approaches to develop self-driving systems are quickly presented. Third, methods providing explanations to a black-box self-driving system in a post-hoc fashion are comprehensively organized and detailed. Fourth, approaches from the literature that aim at building more interpretable self-driving systems by design are presented and discussed in detail. Finally, remaining open-challenges and potential future research directions are identified and examined.
This paper presents a new Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture Multi-Scale Vision Longformer, which significantly enhances the ViT of cite{dosovitskiy2020image} for encoding high-resolution images using two techniques. The first is the multi-scale m odel structure, which provides image encodings at multiple scales with manageable computational cost. The second is the attention mechanism of vision Longformer, which is a variant of Longformer cite{beltagy2020longformer}, originally developed for natural language processing, and achieves a linear complexity w.r.t. the number of input tokens. A comprehensive empirical study shows that the new ViT significantly outperforms several strong baselines, including the existing ViT models and their ResNet counterparts, and the Pyramid Vision Transformer from a concurrent work cite{wang2021pyramid}, on a range of vision tasks, including image classification, object detection, and segmentation. The models and source code are released at url{https://github.com/microsoft/vision-longformer}.
