Geometrically-Conditioned Point Diffusion Models

Pascal Fua, Eduard Trulls Fortuny, Michal Jan Tyszkiewicz

Diffusion models generating images conditionally on text, such as Dall-E 2 [51] and Stable Diffusion[53], have recently made a splash far beyond the computer vision com- munity. Here, we tackle the related problem of generating point clouds, both unconditi ...

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 ...

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 Gaussian denoiser epistemic uncertainty and decoupled dual-attention fusion

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou

Following the performance breakthrough of denoising networks, improvements have come chiefly through novel architecture designs and increased depth. While novel denoising networks were designed for real images coming from different distributions, or for sp ...

W2S: Microscopy Data with Joint Denoising and Super-Resolution for Widefield to SIM Mapping

Sabine Süsstrunk, Daniel Sage, Majed El Helou, Arne Seitz, Ruofan Zhou, Thierry Laroche

In fluorescence microscopy live-cell imaging, there is a critical trade-off between the signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution on one side, and the integrity of the biological sample on the other side. To obtain clean high-resolution (HR) images, one ...

On the 2D Post-Processing of Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Analysis

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Simon Adrien Zaslawski

The benefits and limitations inherent to the 2D post-processing of measurements from Brillouin optical time-domain analyzers are investigated from a fundamental point of view. In a preliminary step, the impact of curve fitting on the precision of the estim ...

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 ...

CPGD: Cadzow Plug-and-Play Gradient Descent for Generalised FRI

Martin Vetterli, Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Adrien Georges Jean Besson

Finite rate of innovation (FRI) is a powerful reconstruction framework enabling the recovery of sparse Dirac streams from uniform low-pass filtered samples. An extension of this framework, called generalised FRI (genFRI), has been recently proposed for han ...

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 ...

Dictionary Learning Based on Sparse Distribution Tomography

Michaël Unser, Pedram Pad

We propose a new statistical dictionary learning algorithm for sparse signals that is based on an α-stable innovation model. The parameters of the underlying model—that is, the atoms of the dictionary, the sparsity index α and the dispersion of the transfo ...

Hopfield neural network deconvolution for weak lensing measurement

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes, Guldariya Nurbaeva

Weak gravitational lensing has the potential to place tight constraints on the equation of the state of dark energy. However, this will only be possible if shear measurement methods can reach the required level of accuracy. We present a new method for meas ...

Numerical approximation of the fractional Laplacian via hp-finite elements, with an application to image denoising

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Paolo Gatto

The fractional Laplacian operator (−∆)s on a bounded domain Ω can be realized as a Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a degenerate elliptic equation posed in the semi-infinite cylinder Ω × (0,∞). In fact, the Neumann trace on Ω involves a Muckenhoupt weight that ...

Benefits of consistency in image denoising with steerable wavelets

Michaël Unser, Emrah Bostan, Bugra Tekin, Ulugbek Kamilov

The steerable wavelet transform is a redundant image representation with the remarkable property that its basis functions can be adaptively rotated to a desired orientation. This makes the transform well-suited to the design of wavelet-based algorithms app ...
