We have developed a method for the linear reconstruction of an image from undersampled, dithered data, which has been used to create the distributed, combined Hubble Deep Field images -- the deepest optical images yet taken of the universe.…
We propose a method that combines sparse depth (LiDAR) measurements with an intensity image and to produce a dense high-resolution depth image. As there are few, but accurate, depth measurements from the scene, our method infers the…
We present a method to infer reddenings and distances to stars, based only on their broad-band photometry, and show how this method can be used to produce a three-dimensional dust map of the Galaxy. Our method samples from the full…
