Temporal Super-Resolution Microscopy Using a Hue-Encoded Shutter

Sylvain Calinon, Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling, Emmanuel Pignat, Christian Jaques

Limited time-resolution in microscopy is an obstacle to many biological studies. Despite recent advances in hardware, digital cameras have limited operation modes that constrain frame-rate, integration time, and color sensing patterns. In this paper, we pr ...

Near-Infrared Fusion for Photorealistic Image Dehazing

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Frederike Dümbgen

Scattering of light due to the presence of aerosol particles along the path of radiation causes atmospheric haze in images. This scattering is significantly less severe in longer wavelength bands than in shorter ones, thus the importance of near-infrared ( ...
