E-RGB-D: Real-Time Event-Based Perception with Structured Light

The paper introduces E‑RGB‑D, a real‑time event‑based perception system that combines a Digital Light Processing projector with a monochrome event camera to produce RGB‑D data. By projecting structured light and capturing asynchronous brightness changes, the system can detect color and depth for each pixel, achieving a color detection speed of 1400 fps and a depth detection rate of 4 kHz. The approach enables frameless RGB‑D sensing and delivers colorful point clouds without compromising spatial resolution.

GLOW: Global Illumination-Aware Inverse Rendering of Indoor Scenes Captured with Dynamic Co-Located Light & Camera

GLOW is a Global Illumination‑aware inverse rendering framework for indoor scenes captured with dynamic co‑located light and camera setups. It combines a neural implicit surface representation with a neural radiance cache to jointly optimize geometry and reflectance, while introducing a dynamic radiance cache and a surface‑angle‑weighted radiometric loss to handle near‑field motion, strong inter‑reflections, and specular highlights. Experiments demonstrate that GLOW significantly outperforms prior methods in estimating material reflectance under both natural and co‑located illumination.

Off the Planckian Locus: Using 2D Chromaticity to Improve In-Camera Color

The paper proposes replacing traditional one-dimensional correlated color temperature (CCT) interpolation with a two-dimensional chromaticity approach for in-camera colorimetric mapping. By training a lightweight multi-layer perceptron (MLP) on a lightbox calibration that includes representative LED sources, the method achieves a 22% average reduction in angular reproduction error across diverse LED lighting. It remains compatible with conventional illuminants, handles multi-illuminant scenes, and can be deployed in real time with minimal computational overhead.
