Abstract

Dynamic laser speckle analysis (DLSA) can obtain useful information about the scene dynamics. Traditional implementations use intensity-based imaging sensors such as a complementary metal oxide semiconductor and charge-coupled device to capture time-varying intensity frames. We use an event sensor that measures pixel-wise asynchronous brightness changes to record speckle pattern sequences. Our approach takes advantage of the low latency and high contrast sensitivity of the event sensor to implement DLSA with high temporal resolution. We also propose two evaluation metrics designed especially for event data. Comparison experiments are conducted in identical conditions to demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed approach.
