A keypoint-based pipeline for 6-DoF pose tracking of dynamic objects using event cameras is presented, featuring a lightweight detector and a density-guided tracking method. This approach demonstrates enhanced accuracy and robustness for objects with complex geometries under high-speed motion compared to state-of-the-art event-based techniques.

Key insights

  • Leveraging event density and polarity-aware matching significantly enhances keypoint tracking stability for dynamic objects, even with sparse event data.
  • A lightweight neural network combined with a local refinement module can effectively extract precise keypoints from event streams, making it adaptable to diverse object geometries including curved surfaces.
  • Integrating an Extended Kalman Filter provides temporal robustness, mitigating drift and jitter in keypoint tracking and maintaining accuracy during high-speed motion.
