Spatially-Variant CNN-Based Point Spread Function Estimation for Blind Deconvolution and Depth Estimation in Optical Microscopy

Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling, Adrian Shajkofci

Optical microscopy is an essential tool in biology and medicine. Imaging thin, yet non-flat objects in a single shot (without relying on more sophisticated sectioning setups) remains challenging as the shallow depth of field that comes with high-resolution ...

Identification of blowing snow particles in images from a Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera

Alexis Berne, Christophe Praz, Mathieu Oscar Schaer

A new method to automatically discriminate between hydrometeors and blowing snow particles on MultiAngle Snowflake Camera (MASC) images is introduced. The method uses four selected descriptors related to the image frequency, the number of particles detecte ...

Beyond Cartesian Representations for Local Descriptors

Pascal Fua, Kwang Moo Yi, Eduard Trulls Fortuny, Anastasiia Mishchuk, Patrick Winfried Josef Ebel

The dominant approach for learning local patch descriptors relies on small image regions whose scale must be properly estimated a priori by a keypoint detector. In other words, if two patches are not in correspondence, their descriptors will not match. A s ...

Color Image Segmentation Using a Fuzzy Inference System

Matin Macktoobian

A novel method is proposed in the scope of image segmentation that solves this problem by breaking it into two main blocks. The first block's functionality is a method to anticipate the color basis of each segment in segmented images. One of the challenges ...

Learning to See through Reflections

Sabine Süsstrunk

"Pictures of objects behind a glass are difficult to interpret" "and understand due to the superposition of two real images: a reflection layer and a background layer. Separation of these two layers is challenging due to the ambiguities in as- signing text ...

Shapes from pixels

Martin Vetterli, Arash Amini, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Mitra Fatemi

Continuous-domain visual signals are usually captured as discrete (digital) images. This operation is not invertible in general, in the sense that the continuous-domain signal cannot be exactly reconstructed based on the discrete image, unless it satisfies ...

Analyzing halftone dot blurring by extended spectral prediction models

Roger Hersch, Mathieu Hébert

Spectral prediction models for halftone prints generally assume homogeneously thick and sharply edged ink dots, i.e., bilevel halftones. In real prints, the ink thickness often decreases at the boundaries of the ink dots, thereby forming continuous-level h ...
