DESCRIPTION:Gaétan Raynaud (UNFoLD\, EPFL)\nAbstract:\nMany phenomena in
  experimental mechanics and robotics are fast: the flapping of membranes\,
  propulsion of micro-aerial vehicles\, crack propagation\, dynamic bucklin
 g have typical time scales around microseconds and milliseconds.\nFast cam
 eras usually record frames at a high constant framerate\, generating a lot
  of redundant information when nothing is moving. They also require strong
  illumination and are cost-prohibitive.\nEvent-based cameras feature a dif
 ferent sensor that records only variations in light intensity\, ignoring a
 ll the static information. They are much lighter\, affordable and track mo
 tions at the microsecond timescale. However the data that they output have
  a very different structure than frame-based cameras.\nWe present a genera
 l method to reconstruct the deformation of a flapping flag in a wind tunne
 l using an event-based camera. Then\, an open-discussion session aims at s
 haring experiences: you are warmly welcome to bring ideas\, suggestions an
 d questions\, especially if you consider using or have used event-based te
 chniques in your experiments\nBio:\nGaétan is a PhD student at EPFL. He j
 oined the UNFoLD lab of Prof. Karen Mulleners in October 2021. His researc
 h focuses on the effect of shape on the flapping of flags. Before joining 
 EPFL\, Gaétan got an engineering degree from École polytechnique in Fran
 ce and a research-based master from Polytechnique Montréal in Québec\, C
 anada.
