See Silhouettes in Motion with Neuromorphic Vision

Quasi-bimodal objects, such as text, road signs, and barcodes, play a basic yet vital role in daily visual communication. By boiling these down to clear silhouettes, binarization uses a minimal language to convey essential vision cues for maximum downstream efficiency. The catch is that frame-based imaging often struggles on mobile platforms like drones, self-driving cars, and underwater vehicles. In these dynamic scenes, rapid motion and harsh lighting can make it blind, causing severe motion blur and erasing crucial details. To overcome the limits, neuromorphic vision via event cameras, featuring microsecond-level temporal resolution and high dynamic range, steps in as a natural solution. Building upon this event-driven sensing paradigm, we introduce a simple yet effective dual-modal approach that harnesses the synergy between frames and events to achieve real-time, high-frame-rate binarization on CPU-only devices. Extensive evaluations present that it earns competitive performance against leading techniques in reducing motion blur, while delivering impressive improvements under challenging illumination. Besides, our asynchronous workflow bypasses event scarcity that breaks traditional time-binning reconstruction, maintaining clear target shapes even at extreme kilohertz frame rates. Its binary results further serve as reliable representations that facilitate a range of downstream tasks. This work paves the way towards lightweight perception and interaction in embodied intelligence on resource-constrained edge platforms.

Autofocus for Event Cameras

Focus control (FC) is crucial for cameras to capture sharp images in challenging real-world scenarios. The autofocus (AF) facilitates the FC by automatically adjusting the focus settings. However, due to the lack of effective AF methods for the recently introduced event cameras, their FC still relies on naive AF like manual focus adjustments, leading to poor adaptation in challenging real-world conditions. In particular, the inherent differences between event and frame data in terms of sensing modality, noise, temporal resolutions, etc., bring many challenges in designing an effective AF method for event cameras. To address these challenges, we develop a novel event-based autofocus framework consisting of an event-specific focus measure called event rate (ER) and a robust search strategy called event-based golden search (EGS). To verify the performance of our method, we have collected an event-based autofocus dataset (EAD) containing well-synchronized frames, events, and focal positions in a wide variety of challenging scenes with severe lighting and motion conditions. The experiments on this dataset and additional real-world scenarios demonstrated the superiority of our method over state-of-the-art approaches in terms of efficiency and accuracy.

ModLaNets: Learning Generalisable Dynamics via Modularity and Physical Inductive Bias

Deep learning models are able to approximate one specific dynamical system but struggle at learning generalisable dynamics, where dynamical systems obey the same laws of physics but contain different numbers of elements (e.g., double- and triple-pendulum systems). To relieve this issue, we proposed the Modular Lagrangian Network (ModLaNet), a structural neural network framework with modularity and physical inductive bias. This framework models the energy of each element using modularity and then construct the target dynamical system via Lagrangian mechanics. Modularity is beneficial for reusing trained networks and reducing the scale of networks and datasets. As a result, our framework can learn from the dynamics of simpler systems and extend to more complex ones, which is not feasible using other relevant physics-informed neural networks. We examine our framework for modelling double-pendulum or three-body systems with small training datasets, where our models achieve the best data efficiency and accuracy performance compared with counterparts. We also reorganise our models as extensions to model multi-pendulum and multi-body systems, demonstrating the intriguing reusable feature of our framework.

Matching Neuromorphic Events and Color Images via Adversarial Learning

The event camera has appealing properties: high dynamic range, low latency, low power consumption and low memory usage, and thus provides complementariness to conventional frame-based cameras. It only captures the dynamics of a scene and is able to capture almost "continuous" motion. However, different from frame-based camera that reflects the whole appearance as scenes are, the event camera casts away the detailed characteristics of objects, such as texture and color. To take advantages of both modalities, the event camera and frame-based camera are combined together for various machine vision tasks. Then the cross-modal matching between neuromorphic events and color images plays a vital and essential role. In this paper, we propose the Event-Based Image Retrieval (EBIR) problem to exploit the cross-modal matching task. Given an event stream depicting a particular object as query, the aim is to retrieve color images containing the same object. This problem is challenging because there exists a large modality gap between neuromorphic events and color images. We address the EBIR problem by proposing neuromorphic Events-Color image Feature Learning (ECFL). Particularly, the adversarial learning is employed to jointly model neuromorphic events and color images into a common embedding space. We also contribute to the community N-UKbench and EC180 dataset to promote the development of EBIR problem. Extensive experiments on our datasets show that the proposed method is superior in learning effective modality-invariant representation to link two different modalities.
