High-speed Video from Asynchronous Camera Array
This paper presents a method for capturing high-speed video using an
asynchronous camera array. Our method sequentially fires each sensor in a
camera array with a small time offset and assembles captured frames into a
high-speed video according to the time stamps. The resulting video, however,
suffers from parallax jittering caused by the viewpoint difference among
sensors in the camera array. To address this problem, we develop a dedicated
novel view synthesis algorithm that transforms the video frames as if they were
captured by a single reference sensor. Specifically, for any frame from a
non-reference sensor, we find the two temporally neighboring frames captured by
the reference sensor. Using these three frames, we render a new frame with the
same time stamp as the non-reference frame but from the viewpoint of the
reference sensor. Specifically, we segment these frames into super-pixels and
then apply local content-preserving warping to warp them to form the new frame.
We employ a multi-label Markov Random Field method to blend these warped
frames. Our experiments show that our method can produce high-quality and
high-speed video of a wide variety of scenes with large parallax, scene
dynamics, and camera motion and outperforms several baseline and
state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: 10 pages, 82 figures, Published at IEEE WACV 201
Depth Superresolution using Motion Adaptive Regularization
Spatial resolution of depth sensors is often significantly lower compared to
that of conventional optical cameras. Recent work has explored the idea of
improving the resolution of depth using higher resolution intensity as a side
information. In this paper, we demonstrate that further incorporating temporal
information in videos can significantly improve the results. In particular, we
propose a novel approach that improves depth resolution, exploiting the
space-time redundancy in the depth and intensity using motion-adaptive low-rank
regularization. Experiments confirm that the proposed approach substantially
improves the quality of the estimated high-resolution depth. Our approach can
be a first component in systems using vision techniques that rely on high
resolution depth information
