• Abstract summary: Event-based video reconstruction has garnered increasing attention due to its advantages, such as high dynamic range and rapid motion capture capabilities. Current methods often prioritize the extraction of temporal information from continuous event flow, leading to an overemphasis on low-frequency texture features in the scene. We introduce a novel approach, the Temporal Residual Guided Diffusion Framework, which effectively leverages both temporal and frequency-based event priors.

• Abstract: Event-based video reconstruction has garnered increasing attention due to its advantages, such as high dynamic range and rapid motion capture capabilities. However, current methods often prioritize the extraction of temporal information from continuous event flow, leading to an overemphasis on low-frequency texture features in the scene, resulting in over-smoothing and blurry artifacts. Addressing this challenge necessitates the integration of conditional information, encompassing temporal features, low-frequency texture, and high-frequency events, to guide the Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) in producing accurate and natural outputs. To tackle this issue, we introduce a novel approach, the Temporal Residual Guided Diffusion Framework, which effectively leverages both temporal and frequency-based event priors. Our framework incorporates three key conditioning modules: a pre-trained low-frequency intensity estimation module, a temporal recurrent encoder module, and an attention-based high-frequency prior enhancement module. In order to capture temporal scene variations from the events at the current moment, we employ a temporal-domain residual image as the target for the diffusion model. Through the combination of these three conditioning paths and the temporal residual framework, our framework excels in reconstructing high-quality videos from event flow, mitigating issues such as artifacts and over-smoothing commonly observed in previous approaches. Extensive experiments conducted on multiple benchmark datasets validate the superior performance of our framework compared to prior event-based reconstruction methods.

  Event cameras or dynamic vision sensors (DVS) record asynchronous response to brightness changes instead of conventional intensity frames. We propose an inventive event completion sequence approach conforming to unique characteristics of event data in both the processing stage and the output form. Specifically, we treat event streams as 3D event clouds in thetemporal domain, develop a diffusion-based generative model to generate dense clouds in a coarse-to-fine manner, and recover exact timestamps to maintain the temporal resolution of raw data successfully.

  We design a space-time memory (STM)-based network, which extracts useful temporal information of the current frame from adjacent frames as the temporal branch of VSOD. In the encoding stage, we generate high-level temporal features by using high-level features from the current and its adjacent frames. In the decoding stage, we propose an effective fusion strategy for spatial and temporal branches. The proposed model does not require optical flow or other preprocessing, and can reach a speed of nearly 100 FPS during inference.
