We analyze the fundamental resolution of incoherent optical point sources from the perspective of a quantum detection problem: deciding whether the optical field on the image plane is generated by one source or two weaker sources with…
In single-molecule microscopy it is necessary to locate with high precision point sources from noisy observations of the spectrum of the signal at frequencies capped by $f_c$, which is just about the frequency of natural light. This paper…
It is suggested that low-light image enhancement realizes one-to-many mapping since we have different definitions of NORMAL-light given application scenarios or users' aesthetic. However, most existing methods ignore subjectivity of the…
Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph and let each vertex of $G$ has a lamp and a button. Each button can be of $\sigma^+$-type or $\sigma$-type. Assume that initially some lamps are on and others are off. The button on vertex $x$ is of $\sigma^+$-type…
