• Abstract summary: This paper introduces a new problem, i.e., 3D human motion capture from an egocentric monocular event camera with a fisheye lens. Event streams have high temporal resolution and provide reliable cues for 3D human motion capture under high-speed human motions and rapidly changing illumination. Our EE3D demonstrates robustness and superior 3D accuracy compared to existing solutions while supporting real-time 3D pose update rates of 140Hz.

• Abstract: Monocular egocentric 3D human motion capture is a challenging and actively researched problem. Existing methods use synchronously operating visual sensors (e.g. RGB cameras) and often fail under low lighting and fast motions, which can be restricting in many applications involving head-mounted devices. In response to the existing limitations, this paper 1) introduces a new problem, i.e., 3D human motion capture from an egocentric monocular event camera with a fisheye lens, and 2) proposes the first approach to it called EventEgo3D (EE3D). Event streams have high temporal resolution and provide reliable cues for 3D human motion capture under high-speed human motions and rapidly changing illumination. The proposed EE3D framework is specifically tailored for learning with event streams in the LNES representation, enabling high 3D reconstruction accuracy. We also design a prototype of a mobile head-mounted device with an event camera and record a real dataset with event observations and the ground-truth 3D human poses (in addition to the synthetic dataset). Our EE3D demonstrates robustness and superior 3D accuracy compared to existing solutions across various challenging experiments while supporting real-time 3D pose update rates of 140Hz.

  We propose E-3DGS, a novel event-based approach that partitions events into motion and exposure. We introduce a novel integration of 3DGS with exposure events for high-quality reconstruction of explicit scene representations. Our method is faster and delivers better reconstruction quality than event-based NeRF while being more cost-effective than NeRF methods.

  We propose ExFMan, the first neural rendering framework that renders high-quality humans in rapid motion with a hybrid frame-based RGB and bio-inspired event camera. We first formulate a velocity field of the 3D body in the canonical space and render it to image space to identify the body parts with motion blur. We then propose two novel losses, i.e., velocity-aware photometric loss and velocity-relative event loss, to optimize the neural human for both modalities.

Our approach has characteristics previously not demonstrated with a single RGB or depth camera.
