Table tennis ball spin estimation with an event camera

Table tennis ball spin estimation with an event camera

Event cameras do not suffer as much from motion blur, thanks to their high temporal resolution. Moreover, the sparse nature of the event stream solves communication bandwidth limitations many frame cameras face. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first method for table tennis spin estimation using an event camera. We use ordinal time surfaces to track the ball and then isolate the events generated by the logo on the ball.

TimeReplayer: Unlocking the Potential of Event Cameras for Video Interpolation

TimeReplayer: Unlocking the Potential of Event Cameras for Video Interpolation

The pioneering work Time Lens introduced event cameras to video interpolation by designing optical devices to collect a large amount of paired training data of high-speed frames and events, which is too costly to scale. To fully unlock the potential of event cameras, this paper proposes a novel TimeReplayer algorithm to interpolate videos captured by commodity cameras with events.

Deep Learning for Event-based Vision: A Comprehensive Survey and Benchmarks

Deep Learning for Event-based Vision: A Comprehensive Survey and Benchmarks

We conduct benchmark experiments for the existing methods in some representative research directions, i.e., image reconstruction, deblurring, and object recognition, to identify some critical insights and problems. Finally, we have discussions regarding the challenges and provide new perspectives for inspiring more research studies.

Real-Time Face & Eye Tracking and Blink Detection using Event Cameras

Real-Time Face & Eye Tracking and Blink Detection using Event Cameras

This paper proposes a novel method to simultaneously detect and track faces and eyes for driver monitoring. A unique, fully convolutional recurrent neural network architecture is presented. To train this network, a synthetic event-based dataset is simulated with accurate bounding box annotations, called Neuromorphic HELEN.

Lastly, we propose a spatio-temporal feature aggregation module to enrich the latent features and a consistency loss to increase the robustness of the overall pipeline. We conduct comprehensive experiments to verify our method’s effectiveness where still objects are retained, but real occluded objects are discarded.
