The point spread function (PSF) of a translation invariant imaging system is its impulse response, which cannot always be measured directly. This is the case in high energy X-ray radiography, and it must be estimated from images of…

Diffusion Models (DMs) are powerful generative models that add Gaussian noise to the data and learn to remove it. We wanted to determine which noise distribution (Gaussian or non-Gaussian) led to better generated data in DMs. Since DMs do…
Diffusion models have demonstrated impressive generative capabilities, but their \textit{exposure bias} problem, described as the input mismatch between training and sampling, lacks in-depth exploration. In this paper, we systematically…
