Objective
**************
This workshop is dedicated to event-based cameras, smart cameras, and algorithms processing data from these sensors. Event-based cameras are bio-inspired sensors with the key advantages of microsecond temporal resolution, low latency, very high dynamic range, and low power consumption. Because of these advantages, event-based cameras open frontiers that are unthinkable with standard frame-based cameras (which have been the main sensing technology for the past 60 years). These revolutionary sensors enable the design of a new class of algorithms to track a baseball in the moonlight, build a flying robot with the agility of a bee, and perform structure from motion in challenging lighting conditions and at remarkable speeds. These sensors became commercially available in 2008 and are slowly being adopted in computer vision and robotics. In recent years they have received attention from large companies, e.g., Sony, Samsung, and Omnivision are now producing event sensors. The workshop also considers novel vision sensors, such as pixel processor arrays (PPAs), that perform massively parallel processing near the image plane. Because early vision computations are carried out on-sensor, the resulting systems have high speed and low-power consumption, enabling new embedded vision applications in areas such as robotics, AR/VR, automotive, gaming, surveillance, etc. This workshop will cover the sensing hardware, as well as the processing and learning methods needed to take advantage of the above-mentioned novel cameras.

Paper/Demo Submission
**************
Research papers and demos are solicited in, but not limited to, the topics listed above. Paper submissions must adhere to the CVPR 2023 paper submission style, format and length restrictions. See the author guidelines and template provided by the CVPR 2023 main conference. See also the policy of Dual/Double Submissions of concurrently-reviewed conferences, such as ICCV. Authors may want to limit the submission to four pages (excluding references) if that is their case.

A double blind peer-review process of the submissions received is carried out via CMT. Accepted papers will be published open access through the Computer Vision Foundation (CVF) (see examples from CVPR Workshop 2019 and 2021). For the accepted papers we encourage authors to write a paragraph about ethical considerations and impact of their work.

**************
Courtesy Presentations
**************
We also invite courtesy presentations of papers relevant to the workshop that are accepted at CVPR main conference or at other peer-reviewed conferences or journals. These presentations provide visibility to your work and help build a community around the topics of the workshop. These contributions will be checked for relevance to the workshop, but will not undergo a complete review, and will not be published in the workshop proceedings. Please contact the organizers to make arrangements to showcase your work at the workshop.
