When a facial image is blurred, it significantly affects high-level vision tasks such as face recognition. The purpose of facial image deblurring is to recover a clear image from a blurry input image, which can improve the recognition…
We carried out an experimental set-up for reading a hidden drawing under papyrus using an optical technique based on the speckle phenomenon that is observed when a rough surface is illuminated by laser light. We propose the use of several…
Image anomaly detection consists in finding images with anomalous, unusual patterns with respect to a set of normal data. Anomaly detection can be applied to several fields and has numerous practical applications, e.g. in industrial…
The ability to see around corners, i.e., recover details of a hidden scene from its reflections in the surrounding environment, is of considerable interest in a wide range of applications. However, the diffuse nature of light reflected from…
The indirect detection of dark matter annihilation and decay using observations of photons, charged cosmic rays, and neutrinos offers a promising means of identifying the particle nature of this elusive component of the universe. The last…
A mathematical method for through-wall imaging via wave phenomena in the time domain is introduced. The method makes use of a single reflected wave over a finite time interval and gives us a criterion whether a penetrable obstacle exists or…
Complementary to conventional and phase X-ray radiography, dark-field imaging has become central in visualizing diffusive scattering signal due to the spatially-unresolved texture within an object. To date most diffusive-dark-field…
X-ray radiography is the most readily available imaging modality and has a broad range of applications that spans from diagnosis to intra-operative guidance in cardiac, orthopedics, and trauma procedures. Proper interpretation of the hidden…
Differentiable rendering has received increasing interest for image-based inverse problems. It can benefit traditional optimization-based solutions to inverse problems, but also allows for self-supervision of learning-based approaches for…
In this paper, we present a novel approach to the estimation of strongly varying backgrounds in astronomical images by means of small objects removal and subsequent missing pixels interpolation. The method is based on the analysis of a…
The paper presents Deep Hiding Techniques (DHTs) that define general techniques that can be applied to every network steganography method to improve its undetectability and make steganogram extraction harder to perform. We define five…
Unwanted camera occlusions, such as debris, dust, rain-drops, and snow, can severely degrade the performance of computer-vision systems. Dynamic occlusions are particularly challenging because of the continuously changing pattern. Existing…
We present new deep near-infrared images of dark clouds in the Perseus molecular complex. These images show beautiful extended emission which we model as scattered ambient starlight and name ``cloudshine''. The brightness and color…
We introduce an all-optical system, termed the "lying mirror", to hide input information by transforming it into misleading, ordinary-looking patterns that effectively camouflage the underlying image data and deceive the observers. This…
In this work the method of masks, creating and using of inverted image masks, together with binary operation of image data are used in edge detection of binary images, monochrome images, which yields about 300 times faster than ordinary…
In this paper, a fresh procedure to handle image mixtures by means of blind signal separation relying on a combination of second order and higher order statistics techniques are introduced. The problem of blind signal separation is…
A fundamental question for edge detection in noisy images is how faint can an edge be and still be detected. In this paper we offer a formalism to study this question and subsequently introduce computationally efficient multiscale edge…
The study and prediction of space weather entails the analysis of solar images showing structures of the Sun's atmosphere. When imaged from the Earth's ground, images may be polluted by terrestrial clouds which hinder the detection of solar…
3D reconstruction is a fundamental problem in computer vision, and the task is especially challenging when the object to reconstruct is partially or fully occluded. We introduce a method that uses the shadows cast by an unobserved object in…
Feature matching is an important technique to identify a single object in different images. It helps machines to construct recognition of a specific object from multiple perspectives. For years, feature matching has been commonly used in…
