A new method is presented for determining the Point Spread Function (PSF) of images that lack bright and isolated stars. It is based on the same principles as the MCS (Magain, Courbin, Sohy, 1998) image deconvolution algorithm. It uses the…
To estimate the volume density and color of a 3D point in the multi-view image-based rendering, a common approach is to inspect the consensus existence among the given source image features, which is one of the informative cues for the…
Incoherently illuminated or luminescent objects give rise to a low-contrast speckle-like pattern when observed through a thin diffusive medium, as such a medium effectively convolves their shape with a speckle-like point spread function…

The challenge of object categorization in images is largely due to arbitrary translations and scales of the foreground objects. To attack this difficulty, we propose a new approach called collaborative receptive field learning to extract…
The point-spread function (PSF) is a fundamental property of any astronomical instrument. In interferometers, differing array configurations combined with their $uv$ coverage, and various weighting schemes can produce an irregular but…
