Event-based Mosaicing Bundle Adjustment

Shuang Guo, Guillermo Gallego

We tackle the problem of mosaicing bundle adjustment (i.e., simultaneous refinement of camera orientations and scene map) for a purely rotating event camera. We formulate the problem as a regularized non-linear least squares optimization. The objective function is defined using the linearized event generation model in the camera orientations and the panoramic gradient map of the scene. We show that this BA optimization has an exploitable block-diagonal sparsity structure, so that the problem can be solved efficiently. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to leverage such sparsity to speed up the optimization in the context of event-based cameras, without the need to convert events into image-like representations. We evaluate our method, called EMBA, on both synthetic and real-world datasets to show its effectiveness (50% photometric error decrease), yielding results of unprecedented quality. In addition, we demonstrate EMBA using high spatial resolution event cameras, yielding delicate panoramas in the wild, even without an initial map. Project page: https://github.com/tub-rip/emba

Code

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Code Syntology ran Syntology

4 samples harvested; 3 ran; 0 honoured the contract we drafted; 1 has no recorded run. Read from Syntology's graph 2026-09-24; that is when this build read the record, not when the samples ran.

Licence: 0 of the 4 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from tub-rip/emba. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
