Hello,
Using an event camera to detect moving objects on drones is doable, yes (see here: http://rpg.ifi.uzh.ch/docs/RAL19_Falanga.pdf).
However, converting the frames from a standard camera to a virtual event stream (instead of using a real event camera) for this task does not seem like a good idea: you would essentially lose the advantages of event cameras since the frames would suffer from motion blur, under- over- exposure, etc.
While it would be possible to adapt ESIM to perform what you describe (see relevant simulation code here: https://github.com/uzh-rpg/rpg_esim/blob/master/event_camera_simulator/esim/src/event_simulator.cpp#L21), note that the simulated events would not be accurate since nothing guarantees that the optical flow between two frames in the video is small enough to yield accurate events.
Hi Could be possible to use ESIM to process realtime video and use the events to make object recognition from drones performing trajectories at high speed ? Thanks ! Germal
