High-speed three-dimensional image pickup system using an event camera and integral imaging

Abstract

In this study, we demonstrate high-speed three-dimensional (3D) image pickup and reconstruction using an event camera and integral imaging. Since event cameras have a very high temporal resolution, unlike standard cameras, high-speed recording of images is possible. These characteristics of the event camera can be applied to integral imaging, a 3D imaging pickup system. Since the event camera only generates event data occurring due to changes in brightness values, deep learning models are used to reproduce them as high-speed images. Experiments on high-speed 3D image pickup and reconstruction were performed, and the effectiveness of the system was confirmed.
