Temporally consistent dense video annotations are scarce and hard to collect. In contrast, image segmentation datasets (and pre-trained models) are ubiquitous, and easier to label for any novel task. In this paper, we introduce a method to…
Conventional techniques that measure rapid time variations are inefficient or inadequate to discover and observe rapidly pulsating astronomical sources. It is therefore conceivable that there exist some classes of objects pulsating with…

The imager on board INTEGRAL (IBIS) presently provides the most detailed sky images ever obtained at energies above 30 keV. The telescope is based on a coded aperture imaging system which allows to obtain sky images in a large field of view…
Intra-pixel sensitivity variations (IPSVs) in charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) detectors constitute a significant source of astrometric error for undersampled stellar observations. Since…
In this paper, we propose the SPR (sparse phase retrieval) method, which is a new phase retrieval method for coherent x-ray diffraction imaging (CXDI). Conventional phase retrieval methods effectively solve the problem for high…
We introduce a generalized version of phase retrieval called multiplexed phase retrieval. We want to recover the phase of amplitude-only measurements from linear combinations of them. This corresponds to the case in which multiple…
The fitting of spectral lines is a common step in the analysis of line observations and simulations. However, the observational noise, the presence of multiple velocity components, and potentially large data sets make it a non-trivial task.…
We consider imaging the reflectivity of scatterers from intensity-only data recorded by a single moving transducer that both emits and receives signals, forming a synthetic aperture. By exploiting frequency illumination diversity, we obtain…
We consider the phase retrieval problem, in which the observer wishes to recover a $n$-dimensional real or complex signal $\mathbf{X}^\star$ from the (possibly noisy) observation of $|\mathbf{\Phi} \mathbf{X}^\star|$, in which…
We introduce a new variational estimator for the intensity function of an inhomogeneous spatial point process with points in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space and observed within a bounded region. The variational estimator applies in a…
The values of the signal-to-noise ratio are determined, at which the method of processing X-ray diffraction data reveals reflections with intensity less than the noise component of the background. The possibilities of the method are…
We present a simple and effective method to eliminate system aberrations and speckle noise in quantitative phase imaging. Using spiral integration, complete information about system aberration is calculated from three laterally shifted…
The most recent all-sky surveys performed with the INTEGRAL and SWIFT satellites allowed the detection of more than 1500 sources in hard X-rays above 20 keV. About one quarter of them has no obvious counterpart at other wavelengths and…
We report on the design and performance of a velocity map imaging (VMI) spectrometer optimized for experiments using high-intensity extreme ultraviolet (XUV) sources such as laser-driven high-order harmonic generation (HHG) sources and…
This work is concerned with the problem of blind source separation and its applications to imaging. We first establish a theoretical result that we stated in our previous article on imaging in diffusive environments. This result is a…

An information-spectrum approach is applied to solve the multiterminal source coding problem for correlated general sources, where sources may be nonstationary and/or nonergodic, and the distortion measure is arbitrary and may be…
Spectro-microscopy is an experimental technique which can be used to observe spatial variations in chemical state and changes in chemical state over time or under experimental conditions. As a result it has broad applications across areas…
Data gaps are ubiquitous in spectral irradiance data, and yet, little effort has been put into finding robust methods for filling them. We introduce a data-adaptive and nonparametric method that allows us to fill data gaps in…
