A novel method of contrast enhancement is proposed for underexposed images, in which heavy noise is hidden. Under low light conditions, images taken by digital cameras have low contrast in dark or bright regions. This is due to a limited…
Patient scans from MRI often suffer from noise, which hampers the diagnostic capability of such images. As a method to mitigate such artifact, denoising is largely studied both within the medical imaging community and beyond the community…

Conventional LIDAR systems require hundreds or thousands of photon detections to form accurate depth and reflectivity images. Recent photon-efficient computational imaging methods are remarkably effective with only 1.0 to 3.0 detected…
Image reconstruction under multiple light scattering is crucial in a number of applications such as diffraction tomography. The reconstruction problem is often formulated as a nonconvex optimization, where a nonlinear measurement model is…
We address the denoising of images contaminated with multiplicative noise, e.g. speckle noise. Classical ways to solve such problems are filtering, statistical (Bayesian) methods, variational methods, and methods that convert the…
Digital images are commonly represented as regular 2D arrays, so pixels are organized in form of a matrix addressed by integers. However, there are many image processing operations, such as rotation or motion compensation, that produce…

The aim of image restoration is to recover high-quality images from distorted ones. However, current methods usually focus on a single task (\emph{e.g.}, denoising, deblurring or super-resolution) which cannot address the needs of…
The bilateral filter is a useful nonlinear filter which without smoothing edges, it does spatial averaging. In the literature, the effectiveness of this method for image denoising is shown. In this paper, an extension of this method is…
The problem of restoration of digital images from their degraded measurements plays a central role in a multitude of practically important applications. A particularly challenging instance of this problem occurs in the case when the…
Blind super-resolution (SR) aims to recover high-quality visual textures from a low-resolution (LR) image, which is usually degraded by down-sampling blur kernels and additive noises. This task is extremely difficult due to the challenges…
Training deep neural networks has become a common approach for addressing image restoration problems. An alternative for training a "task-specific" network for each observation model is to use pretrained deep denoisers for imposing only the…
This paper introduces a new approach to non-local means image denoising. Instead of using all pixels located in the search window for estimating the value of a pixel, we identify the highly corrupted pixels and assign less weight to these…
Image processing on surfaces has drawn significant interest in recent years, particularly in the context of denoising. Salt-and-pepper noise is a special type of noise which randomly sets a portion of the image pixels to the minimum or…
Images acquired during underwater activities suffer from environmental properties of the water, such as turbidity and light attenuation. These phenomena cause color distortion, blurring, and contrast reduction. In addition, irregular…
