Abstract

We address the problem of 3-D reconstruction using neuromorphic cameras (also known as event-driven cameras), which are a new class of vision-inspired imaging devices. Neuromorphic cameras are becoming increasingly popular for solving image processing and computer vision problems as they have significantly lower data rates than conventional frame-based cameras. We develop a neuromorphic-camera-based Fringe Projection Profilometry (FPP) system.We use theDynamicVision Sensor (DVS) in the DAVIS346 neuromorphic camera for acquiring measurements. Neuromorphic FPP is faster than a single-line-scanning method. Also, unlike frame-based FPP, the efficacy of the proposed method is not limited by the background while acquiring measurements. The working principle of the DVS also allows one to efficiently handle shadows thereby preventing ambiguities during 2-D phase unwrapping. © 2020 IEEE.
