I am trying to add a stage to a stereo calibration pipeline this stage must receive the flow of two streams of the events coming from two Prophesee cameras and the stage must filter them and lets go only the events coming from both cameras having the
Stage as class member
Hello, Prophesee Team! Small question, I have searched all examples, and everywhere you have: Metavision::Pipeline p(true); auto &cam_stage = p.add_stage(std::make_unique<Metavision::CameraStage>(std::move(camera), ebd_ms)); but how would you properly

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

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
AccTime for sparse optical flow
Hi, Am i correct that the sparse optical flow sample only works with an accumulation time of 33ms? How can I make it work with 66 or 100 ms? Kind regards, Rik

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
