Abstract

Techniques are provided for motion estimation using hybrid video imaging based on frame-based capture and event-based capture. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes receiving a sequence of pixel events, generated asynchronously by an event-based video camera, and receiving a sequence of image frames generated by a frame-based video camera at a frame sampling period. The method also includes integrating a subset of the sequence of pixel events, occurring within the frame sampling period between two of the image frames, to generate a pixel motion vector representing motion of the pixel between the two image frames. The method further includes mapping the pixel motion vector to a tile of one of the image frames to generate an estimated motion vector associated with that tile.
