I didn't know how to achieve the time synchronization between event camera and RGB camera, could you help me? Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the question. The best solution in my opinion is to use a signal generator for temporal synchronization if possible (a good example can be found in Fig. 2 of EventAid). It might also be possible to manually align event streams and RGB images. For instance, you can generate small-interval event frames first and then match them with the RGB images (perhaps extracting the edges of RGB images like using the Sobel operator could help) via certain measures such as SSIM. However, this approach might cause less precise alignment, so I recommend using a signal generator as the first option. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response, it's very helpful to us. Do you know whether the signal generator for temporal synchronization is available for purchase?

I guess it should be commercially available, but I don’t know much about how to purchase it. Sorry about that. Perhaps you can reach out to the authors of EventAid. I believe they could provide more helpful advices.
