Welcome to the jAER Open Source Project
Real time sensory-motor processing for event-based sensors and systems
The trunk code base subversion URL is https://jaer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jaer/trunk. Remember to check out in a new empty folder. The viewable subversion repository is http://jaer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jaer/. You can get tarballs of any part of jAER from this view.
To get started, see About jAER and the jAERInstallation.
For developing in jAER, see jAERDeveloperSetup.
See wiki:TitleIndex for a TOC of pages. The main pages are:
Welcome and introduction
Installation and usage
- Software Installation - installing (actually checking out) jAER using version control
- Driver installation - installing USB drivers
- JAEViewer Usage - basic user guide for newcomers
Developer setup
- Developer setup - mainly for netbeans, the preferred environment.
- Developer setup linux
- Developer setup Eclipse
- Developer setup MacOS X
- Developer guidelines - all new developers, please read.
Algorithm and interface development
- Adding new event filters and processing algorithms - most developers will be doing this.
- Adding new chips - if you have a new hardware device that uses an existing hardware interface.
- Adding new hardware interfaces - if you have a new type of hardware interface, e.g. based on USB, UDP, etc.
- Real-time processing - comments about how events can be processed within the hardware data acquisition thread to achieve ms latency.
- Interfacing to jAER - about sending and receiving events over UDP or TCP.
- Prefernces - how the current state is saved and restored in Java Preferences.
Sample data
- Sample AER data - mostly from the DVS128 silicon retina. Externally hosted.
Hardware
- Hardware
- Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) - wiki for the Dynamic Vision Sensor cameras.
- embedded DVS - user guide for Jorg Conradt's "embedded Dynamic Vision Sensor" camera.
- AER-EAR event-based silicon cochleas - wiki for silicon cochleas.
- Cables and pin specifications - AER cabling guide showing the Rome and CAVIAR standards.
- Reference hardware designs - reference designs for AER interfaces.
- Bias generators - design kits for on-chip bias generator circuits, for AMS 0.35u and UMC 180nm processes.
Support
- FAQ - frequently asked questions about jAER.
- Troubleshooting
- Documentation
- Javadoc - API documentation snapshot, likely very outdated. Developers should regenerate after setting up development environment.
- Forums - this is the preferred support channel; see posts here first. Use the Help forum if you have problems. Use the Developer forum to discuss developments.
- Bugs, Features - issue tracker. Deprecated - use the Help forum above.
