Abstract: We propose an image reconstruction method from event data, assuming the target images belong to a prespecified class like QR codes. Instead of solving the reconstruction problem in the image space, we introduce a code space that covers all the noiseless target class images and solves the reconstruction problem on it. This restriction enormously reduces the number of optimizing parameters and makes the reconstruction problem well posed and robust to noise. We demonstrate fast and robust QR-code scanning in difficult, high-speed scenes with industrial high-speed cameras and other reconstruction methods.
