EVT3 RAW File decoder

The sample metavision_evt3_raw_file_decoder.cpp demonstrates how to decode an EVT3 format RAW file and write the decoded events in a CSV file.

The source code of this sample can be found in <install-prefix>/share/metavision/samples/metavision_evt3_raw_file_decoder when installing Metavision SDK from installer or packages. For other deployment methods, check the page Path of Samples.

Note

This code demonstrates a simple version of the EVT3 decoder. The SDK ships additional versions that are described in EVT3 Decoding Configuration page.

Expected Output

The sample creates two CSV files from the RAW file:

• The CD CSV file with the format x;y;polarity;timestamp

• The Trigger output CSV file (if any) with the format value;id;timestamp

How to start

First, compile the sample as described in this tutorial.

To start the sample provide the full path to a RAW file (for example, a file from our Sample Recordings:

Linux

metavision_evt3_raw_file_decoder INPUT_FILENAME CD_CSV_OUTPUT_FILENAME

Windows

metavision_evt3_raw_file_decoder.exe INPUT_FILENAME CD_CSV_OUTPUT_FILENAME

Optionally, you can also generate the CSV file containing the Trigger Events:

Linux

metavision_evt3_raw_file_decoder INPUT_FILENAME CD_CSV_OUTPUT_FILENAME TRIGGER_CSV_OUTPUT_FILENAME

Windows

metavision_evt3_raw_file_decoder.exe INPUT_FILENAME CD_CSV_OUTPUT_FILENAME TRIGGER_CSV_OUTPUT_FILENAME
