New framework reconstructs surface normals from event camera data

Researchers have developed PIE-PS, a novel framework for reconstructing surface normals from event camera data. This method leverages Physical Irradiance Events (PIEs), which are derived from adjacent events at a pixel and their associated light directions. The PIE-PS framework utilizes a graph neural network (PIE-GNN) to encode these PIEs and incorporates a Reliability-Grading Attention mechanism to down-weight unreliable data, ultimately producing dense normal reconstructions. Experiments demonstrate that PIE-PS surpasses existing event-based photometric stereo techniques and a direct solver baseline. AI
