Event Driven Clustering Algorithm

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2602.00115v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper introduces a novel asynchronous, event-driven algorithm for real-time detection of small event clusters in event camera data. Similar to hierarchical agglomerative clustering methods, the proposed algorithm detects clusters based on their spatio-temporal proximity. However, it explicitly leverages the asynchronous structure of event camera data and employs a simple yet efficient decision mechanism, achieving a linear time complexity of $\Theta(N)$, where $N$ is the number of events. Furthermore, the runtime is independent of the sensor resolution, i.e., the number of pixels.
