Event Simulator and Pixel Pitch
Does the EventSimulator class (see documentation here) take into account the pixel pitch of the camera that shot the video? I have video from a CMOS sensor that has a pixel pitch of approximately 3 microns. The Prophesee EVK 3 has a pixel pitch of 15
Request for Assistance with Adjusting Event Rate Control in Python Binding
Dear Prophesee Team, I am writing to seek your assistance with adjusting the Event Rate Control in the Python binding for the sensor I am currently using. Specifically, I am using a sensor with a resolution of 720P, which produces an excessive number
Disable Stage on Running Pipeline
Hello, Prophesee Team! I am trying to make FrameGenerationStage to be able to be: disabled (and free all resources and processing time), enabled back reset (new accumulation_time_ms and fps), Questions: Does all resources and processing time get free
How to change parameters or state of a stage from the scope of other stage?
Let say at some point while in the scope of the Stage2 I want to change some fields of the Stage1. I can access the stage with next_stages() or previous_stages(), and hopefully change any public fields, or callbacks without any problem, correct? What
Skipping events, based on the performance problems
Hello, Prophesee Team! Let say we have a simple pipeline: auto& cam_stage = p.add_stage(std::make_unique<Metavision::CameraStage>(std::move(cam), event_buffer_duration_ms)); auto& algo_stage = p.add_stage(std::make_unique<AlgoStage>(), cam_stage); auto&
Resolving very slow motion without flickering
I am trying to image fluorescent beads in a water suspension under a microscope. The beads move very slowly. When viewed through a CMOS camera you can see the beads slowly moving. In the event camera though it mostly just flickers. What causes this behavior
Slave Camera Recording file has obvious lag
I synchronized two event cameras and tested them. When recording, pictures of the master and the slave camera are perfectly fine and no lag is displayed. But when I open raw files, master.raw is fine, slave.raw shows obvious lag (similar to slow motion),
Metavision Pipeline and IPC (Interprocess Communication)
Hello, I can't get my head around how to make C++ Pipeline work with IPC (NamedPipe for example). I am interested in both directions: sending some data to another application. The most fitting to the Pipeline probably would be "SenderStage", similar to

How to evaluate the quality of synchronization between event camera and external sensor?
Hello, I'm working on synchronization between IMU and event camera(EVK4). I use hardware trigger to synchronize as documentation says. However, it is hard to evaluate the synchronization quality. A naive way is the compare the data between IMU acceleration
Down sample the resolution of event camera
Hi, I'm using evk4 for research and I wonder that whether there is a way to down sample the camera resolution from 1280*720 to 640*480 to reduce the extremely high bandwidth data. Since I use it for slam, I don't want to set ROI to crop the FOV. Hope
Is it possible to receive 'External Trigger event' with Metavision studio?
I want to synchronize a frame camera with an event-based camera using Metavision studio. I would appreciate it if you explain how
Having missing events in the images.
Hi PROPHESEE Support, So i got two problems, the first one is when i use the prophesee_ros_viewer.cpp from the prophesee_ros_wrapper(https://github.com/prophesee-ai/prophesee_ros_wrapper), sometimes i get blank lines in the middle of the image, see the

cannot retrieve biases on SilkyEVCamHD
On a SilkyEVCamHD the reading of bias parameters through the SDK fails. The identical code works for the SilkyEVCamHD: const Metavision::Biases biases = cam_.biases(); Metavision::I_LL_Biases * hw_biases = biases.get_facility(); const auto pmap = hw_biases->get_all_biases();
ExtTrigger events not working when multiple cameras opened in same address space
This problem arises with a pair of SilkyEVCam's (Gen3 sensor) using MetaVision 3.0.2 (compiled from OpenEB). For testing one of the cameras generates an external triggers and has the input set to "loopback". Running two executables side-by-side works

EVK4-HD 事件相机的同步怎么接
您好,如果我想要实现事件相机与RGB相机帧同步,我需要怎么接呢?我有一个主控制器可以给RBG相机发帧同步Tigger,事件相机这一段我是只需要把那个Tigger接5脚就行了吗?他的时钟可以悬空吗?
How to record a raw file with external trigger events?
Hello, What is the correct procedure to record raw files with external trigger events? When I record raw files either with metavision_studio, metavision_viewer or metavision_player, the recorded .raw file contains no external trigger events, as reported
Low Light Bias setting
I am intending to collect recordings in low light conditions. I have played around with the bias settings and found that the following settings give me the best visuals: 299 % bias_diff 228 % bias_diff_off 370 % bias_diff_on 1650 % bias_fo 1525 % bias_hpf

Is it possible to invert the polarity of EVK4 sync_out?
We are designing a synchonization circuit for multiple EVK4 cameras. In our test, the fall edge of the sync_out signal (50ns) is much shorter than the rise edge (~200ns). Is it possible to invert the polarity of sync_out signal by setting the api/registers
Index file created by metavision_raw_info.exe

Hello. I want to display vibration monitoring about amplitude at SilkyEvCam(VGA). I found vibration sample code "Vibration estimation". https://docs.prophesee.ai/stable/metavision_sdk/modules/analytics/samples/vibration.html#chapter-sdk-analytics-samples-vibration-estimation
Consume trigger events using the BaseStage/Cam API
Hi, Just wondering if it is possible to access trigger events using the BaseStage::set_consuming_callback() API. In the docs there is only mention of the HAL API for accessing trigger events. Thanks!
Sparse Optical Flow
is there a publication where I can read how the used algorithm for sparse optical flow computation works?
How to produce() for FrameDisplayStage
Hi, I'd like to visualise images outputted by a custom stage. To do that, I'm inheriting from BaseStage and now need to call produce(xxx) appropriately. I saw that the class FrameDisplayStage tries to cast the input to FrameData in the function set_consuming_callback
When to use SDK vs HAL
After reading through the tutorials, it seems to me that many things can be achieved through the HAL API that can also be done through the SDK. For example, opening a camera and adding a callback for events can be done using the HAL (eg HAL Viewer Sample)
