Researchers have introduced the ev-CIVIL dataset, the first of its kind for detecting defects in civil infrastructure using event-based cameras. These cameras, also known as dynamic vision sensors (DVS), offer advantages over traditional frame-based cameras, particularly in challenging lighting conditions. The dataset includes both event streams and grayscale images captured simultaneously, focusing on cracks and spalling defects in both field and laboratory environments. Initial evaluations using real-time object detection models show promising results for DVS applicability in this domain. AI
