• Abstract: In the realm of video object segmentation (VOS), the challenge of operating under low-light conditions persists, resulting in notably degraded image quality and compromised accuracy when comparing query and memory frames for similarity computation. Event cameras, characterized by their high dynamic range and ability to capture motion information of objects, offer promise in enhancing object visibility and aiding VOS methods under such low-light conditions. This paper introduces a pioneering framework tailored for low-light VOS, leveraging event camera data to elevate segmentation accuracy. Our approach hinges on two pivotal components: the Adaptive Cross-Modal Fusion (ACMF) module, aimed at extracting pertinent features while fusing image and event modalities to mitigate noise interference, and the Event-Guided Memory Matching (EGMM) module, designed to rectify the issue of inaccurate matching prevalent in low-light settings. Additionally, we present the creation of a synthetic LLE-DAVIS dataset and the curation of a real-world LLE-VOS dataset, encompassing frames and events. Experimental evaluations corroborate the efficacy of our method across both datasets, affirming its effectiveness in low-light scenarios.

  Event camera, a bio-inspired sensor offering continuous visual information could enhance the deblurring performance. Existing event-based image deblurring methods usually utilize voxel-based event representations. We introduce point cloud-based event representation into the image deblurring task and propose a Multi-Temporal Granularity Network (MTGNet) It combines the spatially dense but temporally coarse-grained voxel-based event representation and the temporally fine-grained but spatially sparse point cloud-based event.

  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.
