• Abstract: Video frame interpolation (VFI) enables many important applications that might involve the temporal domain, such as slow motion playback, or the spatial domain, such as stop motion sequences. We are focusing on the former task, where one of the key challenges is handling high dynamic range (HDR) scenes in the presence of complex motion. To this end, we explore possible advantages of dual-exposure sensors that readily provide sharp short and blurry long exposures that are spatially registered and whose ends are temporally aligned. This way, motion blur registers temporally continuous information on the scene motion that, combined with the sharp reference, enables more precise motion sampling within a single camera shot. We demonstrate that this facilitates a more complex motion reconstruction in the VFI task, as well as HDR frame reconstruction that so far has been considered only for the originally captured frames, not in-between interpolated frames. We design a neural network trained in these tasks that clearly outperforms existing solutions. We also propose a metric for scene motion complexity that provides important insights into the performance of VFI methods at the test time.

  Video deblurring aims to enhance the quality of restored results in motion-red videos by gathering information from adjacent video frames. We propose two modules: 1) Intra-frame feature enhancement operates within the exposure time of a single blurred frame, and 2) Inter-frame temporal feature alignment gathers valuable long-range temporal information to target frames. We demonstrate that our proposed methods outperform state-of-the-art frame-based and event-based motion deblurring methods through extensive experiments conducted on both synthetic and real-world deblurring datasets.

  Rapid and reliable identification of dynamic scene parts, also known as motion segmentation, is a key challenge for mobile sensors. Event cameras have the potential to overcome these limitations, but corresponding methods have only been demonstrated in smaller-scale indoor environments. This work presents an event-based method for class-agnostic motion segmentation that can successfully be deployed across complex large-scale outdoor environments too.

  In this work, we aim ambitiously for a more realistic and challenging task - joint video multi-frame and deblurring under unknown exposure time. We first adopt a variant of supervised contrastive learning to construct an exposure-aware representation from input blurred frames. We then build our video reconstruction network upon the exposure and motion representation by progressive exposure-adaptive convolution and motion refinement.
