In this tutorial, we will show how to use ESIM to simulate events from a given video.

Left: simulated APS frames (including motion blur)
Right: simulated events with ESIM.
### WARNING
Simulating events from a video **will not work for any video**. The input video needs to have a sufficiently high framerate: the pixel displacement between successive images needs to be small (i.e. a few pixels at most).

An overview of the conversion method is shown in the diagram below. First, we will extract the individual frames from the input video in a folder. Second, we will run ESIM, providing the image folder as an input to simulate events.
Finally, we will see how to visualize the simulated events using the `dvs_renderer` node.
