They output the changes, i.e., events, as 3-D (2-D pixel coordinates + time) streaming data. While event-based cameras are used in many applications because of their desirable characteristics, such as high temporal resolution, low latency, low power consumption, and high dynamic range, their measurements contain considerable noise due to their high sensitivity. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective denoising method for event-based cameras based on graph spectral features. We utilize the fact that the real events captured are often densely distributed in the streaming data while the noise events are spatiotemporally sparse. In the proposed method, we first construct a graph where nodes represent events and edges represent the spatiotemporal distance between events. Next, we calculate the Fiedler vector, which is the eigenvector of the graph operator associated with the second smallest eigenvalue. We extract real events based on the magnitudes of the obtained Fiedler vector. In the calculation of the Fiedler vector, we leverage a power method instead of the naive eigenvalue decomposition and thereby reduce its computational complexity. In experiments, we demonstrate that the proposed method effectively removes noise events from the raw events compared to conventional methods.}, title = {グラフ周波数特徴を用いたイベントカメラのノイズ除去}, year = {2024} }
