[Paper] CodedEvents: Optimal Point-Spread-Function Engineering for 3D-Tracking with Event Cameras
Derived new information theory for quantifying 3D information contained in event camera measurements. Designed optimal apertures with novel neural optical representations and demonstrated improved 3D tracking in theory, simulation and an in-lab physical experiment. Accepted to the 2024 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR).
[Paper] TiDy-PSFs: Computational Imaging with Time-Averaged Dynamic Point-Spread-Functions
Proved that time-averaged PSFs generated by dynamic phase masks are fundamentally more expressive than PSFs from a static phase mask. Demonstrated substantially improved performance on monocular depth estimation and extended depth-of-field imaging. Published in the International Conference of Computer Vision (ICCV) 2023 Proceedings.
