Event-based Optical Marker Systems: A survey
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
The advent of event-based cameras, with their low latency, high dynamic range, and reduced power consumption, marked a turning point in machine perception and robotic vision. In~particular, the combination of these neuromorphic sensors with widely-available passive or active optical markers (e.g. AprilTags, arrays of blinking LEDs), has recently opened up a new field of opportunities. This survey paper provides a comprehensive review of Event-Based Optical Marker Systems (EBOMS). We~analyze the underlying principles and technologies on which these systems are based, with a special focus on their asynchronous operation and robustness against challenging lighting conditions. We also describe the most relevant applications of EBOMS, including object detection and tracking, pose estimation, and optical communication. The article concludes with a discussion of possible future research directions in this rapidly-emerging and multidisciplinary area.
