• Abstract: As a neuromorphic sensor with high temporal resolution, the spike camera shows enormous potential in high-speed visual tasks. However, the high-speed sampling of light propagation processes by existing cameras brings unavoidable noise phenomena. Eliminating the unique noise in spike stream is always a key point for spike-based methods. No previous work has addressed the detailed noise mechanism of the spike camera. To this end, we propose a systematic noise model for spike camera based on its unique circuit. In addition, we carefully constructed the noise evaluation equation and experimental scenarios to measure noise variables. Based on our noise model, the first benchmark for spike stream denoising is proposed which includes clear (noisy) spike stream. Further, we design a tailored spike stream denoising framework (DnSS) where denoised spike stream is obtained by decoding inferred inter-spike intervals. Experiments show that DnSS has promising performance on the proposed benchmark. Eventually, DnSS can be generalized well on real spike stream.

  Event cameras capture sparse, asynchronous brightness changes which offer high temporal resolution, high dynamic range, low power consumption, and sparse data output. These advantages make them ideal for Space Situational Awareness, particularly in detecting resident space objects moving within a telescope's field of view. However, the output from event cameras often includes substantial background activity noise, which is known to be more prevalent in low-light conditions. This noise can overwhelm the sparse events generated by satellite signals, making detection and tracking more challenging.

  We propose Spike-NeRF, the first Neural Radiance Field derived from spike data. Instead of the multi-view images at the same time of NeRF, the inputs of Spike-NeRF are continuous spike streams captured by a moving spike camera in a very short time. Our results demonstrate that Spike-NeRF produces more visually appealing results than the existing methods and the baseline we proposed in high-speed scenes.

  Spike camera is a new type of bio-inspired vision sensor that records light intensity in the form of a spike array with high temporal resolution (20,000 Hz) Existing spike-based approaches typically assume that the scenes are with sufficient light intensity, which is usually unavailable in many real-world scenarios such as rainy days or dusk scenes. We propose a Recurrent Spike-based Image Restoration (RSIR) network, which is the first work towards restoring clear images from spike arrays under general illumination.

  We propose an innovative solution for tackling the de-occlusion problem through continuous multi-view imaging using only one spike camera. By rapidly moving the spike camera, we continually capture the dense stream of spikes from the occluded scene. To process the spikes, we build a novel model textbfSpkOccNet, in which we integrate information of spikes from continuous viewpoints.
