Programming Guides

Metavision SDK offers C++ and Python APIs for event-based data processing. It includes algorithms and supporting data structures as well as code samples demonstrating how to use them.

The algorithms are written in C++ for performance reasons, but are also provided through a Python API binding the C++ code. Some modules (e.g. the Core and Machine Learning modules) also provide features in pure Python modules.

In the following sections, we explore the various aspects of programming event-based device using our API.

• Introduction & Plugin configuration
• Opening a camera
• Opening an event file
• Reading events from a camera or a file
• Recording events to a file
• Processing events with algorithms
• Displaying events
• Tuning camera settings
• Preprocessing events to tensors
• Exploring Machine Learning
• Retrieving ML models
• Using ML models
