Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel method for measuring the temporal modulation of lights by using off-the-shelf
cameras. In particular, we show that the invisible flicker
patterns of various lights such as fluorescent lights can be
measured by a simple combination of an off-the-shelf camera and any moving object with specular reflection. Unlike
the existing methods, we do not need high speed cameras
nor specially designed coded exposure cameras. Based on
the extracted flicker patterns of environment lights, we also
propose an efficient method for deblurring motion blurs in
images. The proposed method enables us to deblur images
with better frequency characteristics, which are induced by
the flicker patterns of environment lights. The real image
experiments show the efficiency of the proposed method
