This paper introduces a spike camera with a distinct video capture scheme and proposes two methods of decoding the spike stream for texture reconstruction. The spike camera captures light and accumulates the converted luminance intensity at each pixel. A spike is fired when the accumulated intensity exceeds the dispatch threshold. The spike stream generated by the camera indicates the luminance variation. Analyzing the patterns of the spike stream makes it possible to reconstruct the picture of any moment which enables the playback of high speed movement.
