In low-light conditions, a conventional camera imaging pipeline produces sub-optimal images that are usually dark and noisy due to a low photon count and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We present a data-driven approach that learns the…
It is generally thought that correcting chromatic aberrations in imaging requires multiple surfaces. Here, we show that by allowing the phase in the image plane of a flat lens to be a free parameter, it is possible to correct chromatic…
In natural image matting, the goal is to estimate the opacity of the foreground object in the image. This opacity controls the way the foreground and background is blended in transparent regions. In recent years, advances in deep learning…
We describe a system to remove real-world reflections from images for consumer photography. Our system operates on linear (RAW) photos, and accepts an optional contextual photo looking in the opposite direction (e.g., the "selfie" camera on…
Photon coincidence spectroscopy is a promising technique for probing the nonlinear regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics in the optical domain, however its accuracy is mitigated by two factors: higher-order photon correlations, which…
Recovering scene color from images captured in scattering media is a fundamental inverse problem in optical imaging. Yet the problem is intrinsically ill-posed as multiple solutions can explain the same observation, and prediction error…
This paper addresses the problem of inverse rendering from photometric images. Existing approaches for this problem suffer from the effects of self-shadows, inter-reflections, and lack of constraints on the surface reflectance, leading to…

The operation of the DVS event camera is controlled by the user through adjusting different bias parameters. These biases affect the response of the camera by controlling - among other parameters - the bandwidth, sensitivity, and maximum…
Multiple optical scattering occurs when light propagates in a non-uniform medium. During the multiple scattering, images were distorted and the spatial information they carried became scrambled. However, the image information is not lost…
Camera calibration is the foundation of 3D vision. Generic camera calibration can yield more accurate results than parametric cam era calibration. However, calibrating a generic camera model using printed calibration boards requires far…
Infrared interferometers are optical devices that can measure optical path-length differences by measuring changes in the refractive index. Several arrangements can be deployed, from single channel devices to multichannel double color…
Photo finishing tuning aims to automate the manual tuning process of the photo finishing pipeline, like Adobe Lightroom or Darktable. Previous works either use zeroth-order optimization, which is slow when the set of parameters increases,…
