Abstract
The present disclosure provides a camera system and an event-assisted image processing method. The camera system includes an image sensor, an event-based sensor, and a processing unit. The image sensor is configured to capture visual images of a targeted scene to obtain image sensing frames with a first frequency. The event-based sensor is configured to capture event data of the targeted scene to obtain event frames with a second frequency higher than the first frequency. The processing unit is configured to: receiving the image sensing frames within a predetermined time period; accumulating the event frames within the predetermined time period; generating a temporal-spatial mask indicating interested areas for the event frames; determining geometric features in the temporal-spatial masks; synchronizing the image sensing frames and the event frames at timestamps within the predetermined time period; and fusing the temporal-spatial mask with the image sensing frames to obtain a masked visual image.
