用轻量注意力框架提升事件相机目标识别性能

Event-based vision sensors, inspired by biological neural systems, asynchronously capture local pixel-level intensity changes as a sparse event stream containing position, polarity, and timestamp information. These neuromorphic sensors offer significant advantages in dynamic range, latency, and power efficiency. Their working principle inherently addresses traditional camera limitations such as motion blur and redundant background information, making them particularly suitable for dynamic vision tasks. While recent works have proposed increasingly complex event-based architectures, the computational overhead and parameter complexity of these approaches limit their practical deployment. This paper presents a novel spatiotemporal learning framework for event-based object recognition, utilizing a VGG network enhanced with Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM). Our approach achieves comparable performance to state-of-the-art ResNet-based methods while reducing parameter count by 2.3% compared to the original VGG model. Specifically, it outperforms ResNet-based methods like MVF-Net, achieving the highest Top-1 accuracy of 76.4% (pretrained) and 71.3% (not pretrained) on CIFAR10-DVS, and 72.4% (not pretrained) on N-Caltech101. These results highlight the robustness of our method when pretrained weights are not used, making it suitable for scenarios where transfer learning is unavailable. Moreover, our approach reduces reliance on data augmentation. Experimental results on standard event-based datasets demonstrate the framework's efficiency and effectiveness for real-world applications.
