Stereo vision is fundamental for enabling machines to perceive and interact with the world. While monocular stereo methods offer hardware compactness, they struggle with generalization due to reliance on data-driven priors. Binocular and multi-view systems improve accuracy but incur higher hardware
Event-based video reconstruction seeks to recover high-speed, high-dynamic-range videos from event streams. While existing approaches rely exclusively on motion-triggered events, these events are inherently sparse and primarily capture dynamic regions. Therefore, they often suffer from error accumul
Current event simulation methods focus on employing videos to synthesize new event data, suffering from costly video capture and limited scalability across viewpoints, motions, and lighting. To this end, we propose a Text-to-event simulation framework (Texvent) that can directly generate asynchronou
With more event datasets being released online, safeguarding the event dataset against unauthorized usage has become a serious concern for data owners. Unlearnable Examples are proposed to prevent the unauthorized exploitation of image datasets. However, it's unclear how to create unlearnable asynch…
Dense metric depth estimation has witnessed great developments in recent years. While single-image-based methods have demonstrated commendable performance in certain circumstances, they may encounter challenges regarding scale ambiguities and visual illusions in real world. Traditional depth-from-fo…
Visual vibrometry has emerged as a powerful technique for remote acquisition of audio and the physical properties of materials. To capture high-frequency vibrations, frame-based approaches often require a high-speed video camera and bright lighting to compensate for the short exposure time. In this…
We present EventUPS, the first uncalibrated photometric stereo (UPS) method using an event camera--a neuromorphic sensor that asynchronously detects brightness changes with microsecond resolution. Traditional frame-based UPS methods are hindered by high bandwidth demands and limited use in dynamic s…
This paper addresses the challenge that current event-based video reconstruction methods cannot produce static background information. Recent research has uncovered the potential of event cameras in capturing static scenes. Nonetheless, image quality deteriorates due to noise interference and detail…
Separating the direct and global components of a scene aids in shape recovery and basic material understanding. Conventional methods capture multiple frames under high frequency illumination patterns or shadows requiring the scene to keep stationary during the image acquisition process. Single-frame…
With frame-based cameras, capturing fast-moving scenes without suffering from blur often comes at the cost of low SNR and low contrast. Worse still, the photometric constancy that enhancement techniques heavily relied on is fragile for frames with short exposure. Event cameras can record brightness…
"This paper proposes a learning-based framework to associate event streams and intensity frames under diverse camera baselines, to simultaneously benefit to camera pose estimation under large baseline and depth estimation under small baseline. Based on the observation that event streams are globally…
This paper proposes to use neuromorphic events for correcting rolling shutter (RS) images as consecutive global shutter (GS) frames. RS effect introduces edge distortion and region occlusion into images caused by row-wise readout of CMOS sensors. We introduce a novel computational imaging setup cons…
We address the problem of jointly denoising and super resolving neuromorphic events, a novel visual signal that represents thresholded temporal gradients in a space-time window. The challenge for event signal processing is that they are asynchronously generated, and do not carry absolute intensity b…
We present a novel computational imaging system with high resolution and low noise. Our system consists of a traditional video camera which captures high-resolution intensity images, and an event camera which encodes high-speed motion as a stream of asynchronous binary events. To process the hybrid…
Reconstruction of high dynamic range image from a single low dynamic range image captured by a frame-based conventional camera, which suffers from over- or under-exposure, is an ill-posed problem. In contrast, recent neuromorphic cameras are able to record high dynamic range scenes in the form of an…
In this paper, we propose a patch-wise super-resolution (SR) method that combines an external-sample classification tree and a nonlinear-mapping learning stage to simultaneously guarantees reconstruction quality and speed at the stage of patch representation and mapping. We use the low-resolution (L…
