Blind deconvolution problems are severely ill-posed because neither the underlying signal nor the forward operator are not known exactly. Conventionally, these problems are solved by alternating between estimation of the image and kernel…
We describe a new multi-scale deconvolution algorithm that can also be used in multi-frequency mode. The algorithm only affects the minor clean loop. In single-frequency mode, the minor loop of our improved multi-scale algorithm is over an…
Blind deconvolution is a ubiquitous problem of recovering two unknown signals from their convolution. Unfortunately, this is an ill-posed problem in general. This paper focuses on the {\em short and sparse} blind deconvolution problem,…
A non iterative direct blind deconvolution procedure, previously used successfully to sharpen Hubble Space Telescope imagery, is now found useful in sharpening nanoscale scanning electron microscope (SEM) and helium ion microscope (HIM)…
Deconvolution with a box (square wave) is a key operation for super-resolution with pixel-shift cameras. In general convolution with a box is not invertible. However, we can obtain perfect reconstructions of sparse signals using convex…
The deconvolution, or cleaning, of radio interferometric images often involves computing model visibilities from a list of clean components, in order that the contribution from the model can be subtracted from the observed visibilities.…

Radio interferometers can measure the full polarization state of incoming waves by cross--correlating all combinations of two orthogonal polarizations at each antenna. The independent sets of electronics used to detect the two polarization…
Images acquired with a telescope are blurred and corrupted by noise. The blurring is usually modeled by a convolution with the Point Spread Function and the noise by Additive Gaussian Noise. Recovering the observed image is an ill-posed…
Exploring motion information is important for the motion deblurring task. Recent the window-based transformer approaches have achieved decent performance in image deblurring. Note that the motion causing blurry results is usually composed…
In this paper we present a blind deconvolution scheme based on statistical wavelet estimation. We assume no prior knowledge of the wavelet, and do not select a reflector from the signal. Instead, the wavelet (ultrasound pulse) is…
Since the start of operations in 2011, the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) has been one of the most efficient wide-field imagers in the optical bands. However, in the next years the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time…
This paper presents a framework for developing a live vision-correcting display (VCD) to address refractive visual aberrations without the need for traditional vision correction devices like glasses or contact lenses, particularly in…
Calibration of radio interferometric observations becomes increasingly difficult towards lower frequencies. Below ~300 MHz, spatially variant refractions and propagation delays of radio waves traveling through the ionosphere cause phase…
Microlensing can provide an important tool to study binaries, especially those composed of faint or dark objects. However, accurate analysis of binary-lens light curves is often hampered by the well-known degeneracy between close (s<1) and…
A major issue in optical astronomical image analysis is the combined effect of the instrument's point spread function (PSF) and the atmospheric seeing that blurs images and changes their shape in a way that is band and time-of-observation…
Blind deconvolution is the problem of recovering a convolutional kernel $\boldsymbol a_0$ and an activation signal $\boldsymbol x_0$ from their convolution $\boldsymbol y = \boldsymbol a_0 \circledast \boldsymbol x_0$. This problem is…
To detect Earth-like planets in the visible with a coronagraphic telescope, two major noise sources have to be overcome: the photon noise of the diffracted star light, and the speckle noise due to the star light scattered by instrumental…
We propose an image resolution improvement method for optical coherence tomography (OCT) based on sparse continuous deconvolution. Traditional deconvolution techniques such as Lucy-Richardson deconvolution suffers from the artifact…
High-contrast imaging for the detection and characterization of exoplanets relies on the instrument's capability to block out the light of the host star. Some current post-processing methods for calibrating out the residual speckles use…
