Image matting is a longstanding problem in computational photography. Although, it has been studied for more than two decades, yet there is a challenge of developing an automatic matting algorithm which does not require any human efforts.…
We propose a novel method to accurately reconstruct a set of images representing a single scene from few linear multi-view measurements. Each observed image is modeled as the sum of a background image and a foreground one. The background…
Image matting aims to obtain an alpha matte that separates foreground objects from the background accurately. Recently, trimap-free matting has been well studied because it requires only the original image without any extra input. Such…
Slow motion videos are becoming increasingly popular, but capturing high-resolution videos at extremely high frame rates requires professional high-speed cameras. To mitigate this problem, current techniques increase the frame rate of…
Image frames obtained in darkness are special. Just multiplying by a constant doesn't restore the image. Shot noise, quantization effects and camera non-linearities mean that colors and relative light levels are estimated poorly. Current…
Human matting is a foundation task in image and video processing, where human foreground pixels are extracted from the input. Prior works either improve the accuracy by additional guidance or improve the temporal consistency of a single…
High resolution images can be acquired using a non-regular sampling sensor which consists of an underlying low resolution sensor that is covered with a non-regular sampling mask. The reconstructed high resolution image is then obtained…
Quarter sampling is a novel sensor design that allows for an acquisition of higher resolution images without increasing the number of pixels. When being used for video data, one out of four pixels is measured in each frame. Effectively,…
It is now well understood that (1) it is possible to reconstruct sparse signals exactly from what appear to be highly incomplete sets of linear measurements and (2) that this can be done by constrained L1 minimization. In this paper, we…
Assessing the quality of aperture synthesis maps is relevant for benchmarking image reconstruction algorithms, for the scientific exploitation of data from optical long-baseline interferometers, and for the design/upgrade of new/existing…
In this paper, we propose an image matting framework called Salient Image Matting to estimate the per-pixel opacity value of the most salient foreground in an image. To deal with a large amount of semantic diversity in images, a trimap is…
Recent advances in video super-resolution have shown that convolutional neural networks combined with motion compensation are able to merge information from multiple low-resolution (LR) frames to generate high-quality images. Current…
Most current single image camera calibration methods rely on specific image features or user input, and cannot be applied to natural images captured in uncontrolled settings. We propose directly inferring camera calibration parameters from…
Image matting refers to predicting the alpha values of unknown foreground areas from natural images. Prior methods have focused on propagating alpha values from known to unknown regions. However, not all natural images have a specifically…

Video reconstruction from a single motion-blurred image is a challenging problem, which can enhance the capabilities of existing cameras. Recently, several works addressed this task using conventional imaging and deep learning. Yet, such…
Video matting has traditionally been limited by the lack of high-quality ground-truth data. Most existing video matting datasets provide only human-annotated imperfect alpha and foreground annotations, which must be composited to background…
