mmWave radars offer excellent depth resolution even at very long ranges owing to their high bandwidth. But their angular resolution is at least an order-of-magnitude worse than camera and lidar systems. Hence, mmWave radar is not a capable…

For robotic interaction in environments shared with other agents, access to volumetric and semantic maps of the scene is crucial. However, such environments are inevitably subject to long-term changes, which the map needs to account for. We…

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging has been attracting much attention as a technology that can provide immersive experience. Its ultimate goal is to provide better quality of experience (QoE) via enhanced contrast. In this paper, we analyze…

Cameras digitize real-world scenes as pixel intensity values with a limited value range given by the available bits per pixel (bpp). High Dynamic Range (HDR) cameras capture those luminance values in higher resolution through an increase in…

Since the history of display technologies began, people have dreamed an ultimate 3D display system. In order to get close to the dream, 3D displays should provide both of psychological and physiological cues for recognition of depth…

Real camera footage is subject to noise, motion blur (MB) and depth of field (DoF). In some applications these might be considered distortions to be removed, but in others it is important to model them because it would be ineffective, or…

An image processing unit (IPU), or image signal processor (ISP) for high dynamic range (HDR) imaging usually consists of demosaicing, white balancing, lens shading correction, color correction, denoising, and tone-mapping. Besides noise…

Multi-person human mesh recovery from a single image is a challenging task, hindered by the scarcity of in-the-wild training data. Prevailing in-the-wild human mesh pseudo-ground-truth (pGT) generation pipelines are single-person-centric,…

In this paper, a novel inverse tone mapping method using a convolutional neural network (CNN) with LDR based learning is proposed. In conventional inverse tone mapping with CNNs, generated HDR images cannot have absolute luminance, although…

While the human eye can perceive an impressive twenty stops of dynamic range, smartphone camera sensors remain limited to about twelve stops despite decades of research. A variety of high dynamic range (HDR) image capture and processing…

Optical Music Recognition (OMR) is concerned with transcribing sheet music into a machine-readable format. The transcribed copy should allow musicians to compose, play and edit music by taking a picture of a music sheet. Complete…
