EventsIterator can not work rightly
Dear Community, I am working on a project involving an event camera and have created a Python class to manage it. One of the class attributes, self.cam, is an initialized HAL device. The class includes a method, continuous_acquire_events, designed to
Bad x320 firmware? Driver development for Raspberry Pis
After a few weeks of playing around, our Genx320 can talk over i2c to a Raspberry Pi 5, but apparently not over MIPI/CSI2. This involved creating a device tree overlay, modifying the Linux drivers open sourced by Prophesee, patching v4l2 utils, compiling
Slice Condition using Python
Hi, I'm trying to make use of the CameraStreamSlicer() function to change the duration of each slice. I've tried looking through all the documentation but I cant seem to figure out how to do this using the Python functions. Based on the information I
Recording Application for two EVK4's and an RGB Camera

About the IMX636 bias
I noticed in the documentation that for the IMX636 model, only bias_diff_on/off has an effect on its sensitivity. But in my tests, I found that bias_diff also had an impact. I want to know what the details should be.
x320 writes bad data to file?
With a x320 ES (which doesn't support the EVT3 format), a patched OpenEB (to support v4l2 devices) can only write raw files of collected data -- hdf5 files open then almost instantly close without any errors. If I convert the raw files to hdf5 with `metavision_file_to_hdf5`
The exact threshold value of IMX636
I am currently utilizing the imx636 sensor for my research.To proceed with my work, I need to determine the exact threshold value rather than the bias parameter. How could I get this information？

How to play back data from raw files in real time?
When playing back data from file using OpenEB (5.0.0) using the code below (simplified), the data packets are delivered not in real-time (usually much faster). Is there anything that I'm doing wrong? ``` const auto cfg = Metavision::FileConfigHints().real_time_playback(true);
EVK4 Camera data transfer
The EVK4 camera with an USB3 cable is rated for hundreds of MB/s of data transfer; however, when running the EVK4 camera in a rapidly changing environment (where almost all pixels across the camera's resolution are changing) for around 10 seconds, an
Expected response for large intensity changes
Hello, I have a question regarding the expected response from the event camera pixels for very large intensity changes. The working principle of event cameras is that the if the long contrast between the intensity levels exceeds a certain threshold (determined
Some questions about positive events and negative events
I have an EVK4 device, when I use python's EventsIterator to read the events generated by the device, the delta_t is 10ms, and other parameters are the default values, but I found that when the brightness of the picture captured by the event camera does
