eventcv-core 1.0.4

//! Live USB event-camera capture — the streaming counterpart to [`io`](crate::io).
//!
//! Where the readers in [`io`](crate::io) turn a *file* into [`EventStream`]s, [`Capture`] turns a
//! *camera* into them. Events are pulled from the device over USB by the `neuromorphic-drivers`
//! crate (Prophesee EVK4 / EVK3 HD, iniVation DVXplorer / DAVIS346, CenturyArks VGA), decoded, and
//! accumulated into fixed windows — either a fixed duration ([`Window::Duration`], the `dt_ms`
//! twin) or a fixed event count ([`Window::Count`], the `max_events` twin) — mirroring
//! [`io::open`](crate::io::open) so everything downstream (representations, features, `.view()`,
//! saving) composes on a live stream exactly as it does on a file.
//!
//! Only non-empty windows are emitted: purely idle time advances the window grid but never yields
//! an empty [`EventStream`], so a `for window in camera` loop never spins on nothing. Timestamps are
//! device microseconds, so streams are built with a `0.001` ms scale (matching `stream.numpy()`).
//!
//! This module is compiled only with the `camera` feature, which pulls in the driver crate and a
//! statically-linked vendored libusb (no system libusb at runtime). On Linux the camera needs udev
//! rules for non-root USB access — see the crate README.
