Abstract
Event-based cameras (ECs) are bio-inspired sensors that asynchronously report pixel brightness changes. Due to their high dynamic range, pixel bandwidth, temporal resolution, low power consumption, and computational simplicity, they are beneficial for vision-based projects in challenging lighting conditions and they can detect fast movements with their microsecond response time. The first generation of ECs are monochrome, but color data is very useful and sometimes essential for certain vision-based applications. The latest technology enables manufacturers to build color ECs, trading off the size of the sensor and substantially reducing the resolution compared to monochrome models, despite having the same bandwidth. In addition, ECs only detect changes in light and do not show static or slowly moving objects. We introduce a method to detect full RGB events using a monochrome EC aided by a structured light projector. The projector emits rapidly changing RGB patterns of light beams on the scene, the reflection of which is captured by the EC. We combine the benefits of ECs and projection-based techniques and allow depth and color detection of static or moving objects with a commercial TI LightCrafter 4500 projector and a monocular monochrome EC, paving the way for frameless RGBD sensing applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
