• Abstract: Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging is an emerging technique for detecting objects behind obstacles or around corners. Recent studies on passive NLOS mainly focus on steady-state measurement and reconstruction methods, which show limitations in recognition of moving targets. To the best of our knowledge, we propose a novel event-based passive NLOS imaging method. We acquire asynchronous event-based data which contains detailed dynamic information of the NLOS target, and efficiently ease the degradation of speckle caused by movement. Besides, we create the first event-based NLOS imaging dataset, NLOS-ES, and the event-based feature is extracted by time-surface representation. We compare the reconstructions through event-based data with frame-based data. The event-based method performs well on PSNR and LPIPS, which is 20% and 10% better than frame-based method, while the data volume takes only 2% of traditional method.

  Event Cameras, also known as Neuromorphic sensors, capture changes in local light intensity at the pixel level, producing asynchronously generated data termed events'' This data format mitigates common issues observed in conventional cameras, like under-sampling when capturing fast-moving objects. We evaluate the viability of integrating conventional algorithms with event-based data, transformed into a frame format.

  Bimodal objects serve as a visual form to embed information that can be easily recognized by vision systems. Neuromorphic cameras offer new capabilities for alleviating motion blur, but it is non-trivial to first de-blur and then binarize the images in a real-time manner. We propose an event-based binary reconstruction method that leverages the prior knowledge of the bimodal target's properties to perform inference independently in both event space and image space. We also develop an efficient integration method to propagate this binary image to high frame rate binary video.

We propose a new algorithm tailored for adapting a deep neural network trained on annotated frame-based data to generalize well on event-based unannotated data.
