Motion compensation and object detection for neuromorphic camera

Compared to conventional cameras, the new type of vision camera-neuromorphic cameras, which can avoid motion blur and have the advantages of high spatiotemporal resolution, high dynamic range, low latency, etc. In this paper, two motion compensation methods are introduced for operating event flow based on differential neuromorphic camera, one is motion compensation based on event counting image and time image, another is motion compensation based on image of warped events. Comprehensive experimental study is carried on two datasets, the motion compensation method based on event counting image and time image is better at generating clear motion compensation images, highlighting moving objects inconsistent with the background motion, while the motion compensation method based on image of warped events tends to generate motion compensated images of moving objects with more prominent or clearer edges. Simultaneously, two motion compensation methods are further applied to realize the object detection method based on threshold or maximum contrast. The former method can be adapted in many cases, while the latter method can well detect the translational moving target.
