# Dataset Card for VibES Event Camera Datasets

## Dataset Description

* **Paper:** VibES: Induced Vibration for Persistent Event-Based Sensing (3DV 2026)
* **Webpage** [papers.starslab.ca/vibes](https://papers.starslab.ca/vibes/)

### Dataset Summary

The VibES dataset contains **event-based camera recordings** collected under **static** and **mechanically induced vibration** conditions.
It is intended for research on **motion compensation**, **frequency and phase estimation**, and **vibration-aware event-based perception**.

The dataset includes both **real** and **synthetic** event streams, stored in **Prophesee / Metavision HDF5 format**.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

Each instance is an **HDF5 file** containing asynchronous event streams captured from an event camera or generated synthetically.

### Data Fields

All files follow the **Prophesee / Metavision HDF5 format**:

* `/CD/events`: event stream (`x`, `y`, `t`, `p`)
* `/CD/indexes`: event indexing
* `/EXT_TRIGGER/events`: external trigger events
* `/EXT_TRIGGER/indexes`: trigger indexing

---

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

The dataset was created to study how **induced mechanical vibrations** can improve robustness and persistence in event-based sensing.

### Source Data

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

* `amiev_*`: real event data from *Microsaccade-inspired event camera for robotics*, converted to Prophesee-style HDF5
* `checkerpattern`, `logo`, `pattern`: real event-based recordings
* `stagger_*`: **synthetic** event sequences with controlled motion
* `stagger_30hz_*_vib`: synthetic vibration at approximately **30 Hz**

### Annotations

No manual annotations are provided.

### Personal and Sensitive Information

The dataset does **not** contain personal or sensitive information.
