Radar imaging systems transmit modulated wideband waveform to achieve high range resolution resulting in high sampling rates at the receiver proportional to the bandwidth of the transmit waveform. Analog processing techniques can be used on…

X-ray tomographic image reconstruction consists of determining an object function from its projections. In many applications such as non-destructive testing, we look for a fault region (air) in a homogeneous, known background (metal). The…

Phase retrieval is a nonlinear inverse problem that arises in a wide range of imaging modalities, from electron microscopy to Fourier ptychography. In particular, the reconstruction is facilitated when the sensing matrix is i.i.d. random,…

To enhance low-light images to normally-exposed ones is highly ill-posed, namely that the mapping relationship between them is one-to-many. Previous works based on the pixel-wise reconstruction losses and deterministic processes fail to…

Photometric Stereo methods seek to reconstruct the 3d shape of an object from motionless images obtained with varying illumination. Most existing methods solve a restricted problem where the physical reflectance model, such as Lambertian…
