E2Pano pipeline reconstructs panoramic images from event camera data

Researchers have developed E2Pano, a novel pipeline for reconstructing panoramic images from event camera data. This geometry-guided approach utilizes a learnable photometric reconstruction stage that operates in real spherical coordinates, preserving geometric mapping throughout the process. The system incorporates a lightweight enhancement module to bridge the event-image domain gap and a spherical Transformer with 3D positional embeddings for reconstruction. Experiments demonstrate improved reconstruction quality and reduced computational cost compared to existing optimization-based methods, with successful transfer to real-world captures after training on synthetic data.
