What it does
- Echoes event_camera_msgs streams in real time, optionally reading from a bag file.
- Reports message rate, drops, delay, drift, jitter, event rate, and ON/OFF and trigger ratios for a topic.
- Compares timing between two event camera topics to check synchronization.
- Measures the delay between an external trigger event and a frame-based camera's image timestamp.
- Converts bag files to and from raw files, and produces image frame sequences from bags.
- Plots events, computes per-pixel event counts, and counts events over fixed intervals.
