Towards learning-based denoising of light fields

Touradj Ebrahimi, Michela Testolina

In recent years, new emerging immersive imaging modalities, e.g. light fields, have been receiving growing attention, becoming increasingly widespread over the years. Light fields are often captured through multi-camera arrays or plenoptic cameras, with th ...

On combining denoising with learning-based image decoding

Touradj Ebrahimi, Michela Testolina

Noise is an intrinsic part of any sensor and is present, in various degrees, in any content that has been captured in real life environments. In imaging applications, several pre- and post-processing solutions have been proposed to cope with noise in captu ...

Coarse graining and large-N behavior of the d-dimensional N-clock model

Matthias Benjamin Ruf

We study the asymptotic behavior of the N-clock model, a nearest neighbors ferromagnetic spin model on the d-dimensional cubic epsilon-lattice in which the spin field is constrained to take values in a discretization S-N of the unit circle S-1 consisting o ...

Evaluating measurement uncertainty in Brillouin distributed optical fibre sensors using image denoising

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Simon Adrien Zaslawski

In 2016, our research team proposed in an issue of Nature Communications1 the use of multidimensional signal processing, especially image denoising techniques, to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of distributed optical ﬁbre sensors. The beneﬁts of t ...

Deep Image Restoration: Between Data Fidelity and Learned Priors

Majed El Helou

Image restoration reconstructs, as faithfully as possible, an original image from a potentially degraded version of it. Image degradations can be of various types, for instance haze, unwanted reflections, optical or spectral aberrations, or other physicall ...

A reflected forward-backward splitting method for monotone inclusions involving Lipschitzian operators

Volkan Cevher, Cong Bang Vu

In this paper, we propose a novel splitting method for finding a zero point of the sum of two monotone operators where one of them is Lipschizian. The weak convergence the method is proved in real Hilbert spaces. Applying the proposed method to composite m ...

Blind Universal Bayesian Image Denoising With Gaussian Noise Level Learning

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou

Blind and universal image denoising consists of using a unique model that denoises images with any level of noise. It is especially practical as noise levels do not need to be known when the model is developed or at test time. We propose a theoretically-gr ...

Image Restoration using Plug-and-Play CNN MAP Denoisers

Sabine Süsstrunk, Siavash Arjomand Bigdeli, David Honzátko

Plug-and-play denoisers can be used to perform generic image restoration tasks independent of the degradation type. These methods build on the fact that the Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) optimization can be solved using smaller sub-problems, including a MAP d ...

Graph-based image representation learning

Renata Khasanova

Though deep learning (DL) algorithms are very powerful for image processing tasks, they generally require a lot of data to reach their full potential. Furthermore, there is no straightforward way to impose various properties, given by the prior knowledge a ...

Symplectic Model-Reduction with a Weighted Inner Product

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Babak Maboudi Afkham

In the recent years, considerable attention has been paid to preserving structures and invariants in reduced basis methods, in order to enhance the stability and robustness of the reduced system. In the context of Hamiltonian systems, symplectic model redu ...

Sparse Gradient Optimization and its Applications in Image Processing

Nikolaos Arvanitopoulos Darginis

Millions of digital images are captured by imaging devices on a daily basis. The way imaging devices operate follows an integral process from which the information of the original scene needs to be estimated. The estimation is done by inverting the integra ...

Wide-baseline object interpolation using shape prior regularization of epipolar plane images

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

This paper considers the synthesis of intermediate views of an object captured by two calibrated and widely spaced cameras. Based only on those two very different views, our paper proposes to reconstruct the object Epipolar Plane Image Volume [1] (EPIV), w ...

Mumford-Shah and Potts Regularization for Manifold-Valued Data

Martin Kurt Storath

Mumford-Shah and Potts functionals are powerful variational models for regularization which are widely used in signal and image processing; typical applications are edge-preserving denoising and segmentation. Being both non-smooth and non-convex, they are ...
