Add some Prophesee datasets
apart from NCARS, which we already have, it would be nice to have access to some Gen4 camera datasets: https://docs.prophesee.ai/stable/datasets.html#datasets
Hi! I saw that you mentioned that NCARS is already available in Tonic but I am not able to find it. Is it hidden in some other datasets? Or it has been removed (maybe due to the fact that at this link they ask every time for user information before downloading?)
it used to be in there but I removed it (see this commit https://github.com/neuromorphs/tonic/commit/a7d78a747477b24eaf6fa4a1fbd56c58eca5b0ff) because in order to read the files, I was dependent on the loris package https://github.com/neuromorphic-paris/loris but that one is a compiled package and it created some issues. I thought that it would be nice to put some newer Prophesee datasets in place but when I looked at it the other day, it seems that they provide their data in their custom format .dat (which loris is able to read) a lot of the times still... Which dataset would you like to work on? The original NCARS with two classes?
Yes, I need to work with the dataset from the original HATS paper. Do you suggest to manually download NCARS from their website and use loris to handle it? Of course, it would be nice to write a DAT processing function and integrate it in Tonic. Do you think it is feasible and that it makes sense?
We can reintroduce it (see the old commit), however I just want to have loris as optional dependency. So I suggest to do the following: copy the dataset file from the previous commit and check that it works, and if you can manage to make loris an optional dependency (using a try/except block) we can put it back into Tonic.
I noticed something: on this line, loris is used directly without the try/except block. In fact, read_aedat4() is used also in CIFAR10DVS to read the file. Hence, we can simply restore the N-CARS dataset, add a try/except statement for loris in read_aedat4() and everything should be fine, right? Am I missing something?
Good point! Please try this. Thank you 🙏

After getting in touch with Prophesee, they informed me that they plan on releasing more hdf5 datasets / files with their next release in September. Let's hope for the best!
