Direct face detection and video reconstruction from event cameras

Abstract

Event cameras are emerging as a new class of cameras, to potentially rival conventional CMOS cameras, because of their high speed operation and low power consumption. Pixels in an event camera operate in parallel and fire asynchronous spikes when individual pixels encounter a change in intensity that is greater than a pre-determined threshold. Such event-based cameras have an immense potential in battery-operated or always-on application scenarios, owing to their low power consumption. These event-based cameras can be used for direct detection from event streams, and we demonstrate this potential using face detection as an example application. We first propose and develop a patch-based model for the event streams acquired from such cameras. We demonstrate the utility and robustness of the patch-based model for event-based video reconstruction and event-based direct face detection. We are able to reconstruct images and videos at over 2,000 fps from the acquired event streams. In addition, we demonstrate the first direct face detection from event streams, highlighting the potential of these event-based cameras for power-efficient vision applications.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Event data can be decompressed to retrieve a standard gray-scale visual representation, including via deep learning-based event-to-image methods.

    “Recently, deep neural network-based event-to-image conversion models [8]-[11] have demonstrated impressive abilities in recovering gray-scale images from event streams, posing a potential risk to the privacy aspect of event-based vision applications.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
