Event cameras have gained popularity in computer vision due to their data sparsity, high dynamic range, and low latency. As a bio-inspired sensor, event cameras generate sparse and asynchronous data, which is inherently incompatible with the traditional frame-based method. Alternatively, the point-based method can avoid additional modality transformation and naturally adapt to the sparsity of events. Still, it typically cannot reach a comparable accuracy as the frame-based method. We propose a lightweight and generalized point cloud network called TTPOINT which achieves competitive results even compared to the state-of-the-art (SOTA) frame-based method in action recognition tasks while only using 1.5 % of the computational resources. The model is adept at abstracting local and global geometry by hierarchy structure. By leveraging tensor-train compressed feature extractors, TTPOINT can be designed with minimal parameters and computational complexity. Additionally, we developed a straightforward downsampling algorithm to maintain the spatio-temporal feature. In the experiment, TTPOINT emerged as the SOTA method on three datasets while also attaining SOTA among point cloud methods on all five datasets. Moreover, by using the tensor-train decomposition method, the accuracy of the proposed TTPOINT is almost unaffected while compressing the parameter size by 55 % in all five datasets.

Eye-tracking is a vital technology for human-computer interaction, especially in wearable devices such as AR, VR, and XR. The realization of high-speed and high-precision eye-tracking using frame-based image sensors is constrained by their limited temporal resolution, which impairs the accurate capture of rapid ocular dynamics, such as saccades and blinks. Event cameras, inspired by biological vision systems, are capable of perceiving eye movements with extremely low power consumption and ultra-high temporal resolution. This makes them a promising solution for achieving high-speed, high-precision tracking with rich temporal dynamics. In this paper, we propose TDTracker, an effective eye-tracking framework that captures rapid eye movements by thoroughly modeling temporal dynamics from both implicit and explicit perspectives. TDTracker utilizes 3D convolutional neural networks to capture implicit short-term temporal dynamics and employs a cascaded structure consisting of a Frequency-aware Module, GRU, and Mamba to extract explicit long-term temporal dynamics. Ultimately, a prediction heatmap is used for eye coordinate regression. Experimental results demonstrate that TDTracker achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on the synthetic SEET dataset and secured Third place in the CVPR event-based eye-tracking challenge 2025.
