Welcome to the official **QCR-Fast-Slow-Event-Dataset** dataset repository attached to the paper [**Enhancing Visual Place Recognition via Fast and Slow Adaptive Biasing in Event Cameras**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.16425), to be presented at the 2024 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2024). This work introduces feedback control algorithms that dynamically change bias parameters for event-cameras to stabilize event-rate in an online manner. The work reports improvements in visual place recognition performances across variations in environment brightness conditions, validated through comprehensive real-time evaluations using a new [QCR-Fast-and-Slow-Event-Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gokulbnr/QCR-Fast-Slow-Event-Dataset).
