While traditional video representations are organized around discrete image frames, event-based video is a new paradigm that forgoes image frames altogether. Rather, pixel samples are temporally asynchronous and independent of one another. Until now, researchers have lacked a cohesive software framework for exploring the representation, compression, and applications of event-based video. I present the AD$\Delta$ER software suite to fill this gap. This framework includes utilities for transcoding framed and multimodal event-based video sources to a common representation, rate control mechanisms, lossy compression, application support, and an interactive GUI for transcoding and playback. In this paper, I describe these various software components and their usage.

翻译：传统视频表示围绕离散图像帧组织，而事件驱动的视频是一种全新范式，完全摒弃了图像帧的概念。在此范式下，像素采样在时间上异步且彼此独立。迄今为止，研究人员一直缺乏一个统一的软件框架来探索事件驱动视频的表示、压缩及应用。本文提出AD$\Delta$ER软件套件以填补这一空白。该框架包含以下功能：将分帧式及多模态事件视频源转码为统一表示的实用工具、码率控制机制、有损压缩、应用支持，以及用于转码和回放的交互式图形用户界面。本文详细描述了这些软件组件及其使用方法。
