Abstract
Event cameras promise low latency and high dynamic range, yet their sparse output challenges integration into standard robotic pipelines. We introduce \nameframew (Efficient Event Camera Volume System), a novel framework that models event streams as continuous-time Dirac impulse trains, enabling artifact-free compression through direct transform evaluation at event timestamps. Our key innovation combines density-driven adaptive selection among DCT, DTFT, and DWT transforms with transform-specific coefficient pruning strategies tailored to each domain's sparsity characteristics. The framework eliminates temporal binning artifacts while automatically adapting compression strategies based on real-time event density analysis. On EHPT-XC and MVSEC datasets, our framework achieves superior reconstruction fidelity with DTFT delivering the lowest earth mover distance. In downstream segmentation…
