Lossless Compression of Data from DAVIS Event Camera

Abstract

This thesis explores the difficulties in lossless compression of data from event cameras. Event cameras have been introduced in the electronic world recently. They have a unique way of cap-turing data which is rather different from the traditional camera. The cameras capture data at high speed and with low power consumption. The high-speed data capture raises the issue of data storage and transfer. The methods proposed in this thesis take advantage of the temporal and spatial redundancies. The methods are evaluated by comparing the results with existing tech-niques and datasets. The results achieved depict the best way to compress the event data and their effectiveness compared to the existing techniques.
