An important problem encountered by both natural and engineered signal processing systems is blind source separation. In many instances of the problem, the sources are bounded by their nature and known to be so, even though the particular…

Sensor noise sources cause differences in the signal recorded across pixels in a single image and across multiple images. This paper presents a Bayesian approach to decomposing and characterizing the sensor noise sources involved in imaging…

Inverse rendering, the process of inferring scene properties from images, is a challenging inverse problem. The task is ill-posed, as many different scene configurations can give rise to the same image. Most existing solutions incorporate…
