Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for reducing flickering artifacts in imaged light sources. Example methods may include receiving images corresponding to a scene captured by a camera; determining a light source in the scene using at least one artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm; determining, using an event-based camera, data representing flickering of the light source, the flickering having a frequency; determining, based on the data, that a time duration of overlap between an on state of the light source and an exposure time of the camera is below a threshold; and delaying the exposure time of the camera by a delay time to increase the time duration of overlap.
