In a companion paper we have reported a $>5\sigma$ detection of degree scale $B $-mode polarization at 150 GHz by the BICEP2 experiment. Here we provide a detailed study of potential instrumental systematic contamination to that…

In depth from defocus (DFD), when images are captured with different camera parameters, a relative magnification is induced between them. Image warping is a simpler solution to account for magnification than seemingly more accurate optical…

High-contrast imaging for the detection and characterization of exoplanets relies on the instrument's capability to block out the light of the host star. Some current post-processing methods for calibrating out the residual speckles use…

Low-light and blurring issues are prevalent when capturing photos at night, often due to the use of long exposure to address dim environments. Addressing these joint problems can be challenging and error-prone if an end-to-end model is…

The problem of image blurring is one of the most studied topics in the field of image processing. Image blurring is caused by various factors such as hand or camera shake. To restore the blurred image, it is necessary to know information…

Material decomposition for imaging multiple contrast agents in a single acquisition has been made possible by spectral CT: a modality which incorporates multiple photon energy spectral sensitivities into a single data collection. This work…

The "dirty" image made by direct Fourier inversion of visibility data is an important first step in inteferometric imaging. This is where the "deconvolution problem" is defined and the degree to which that problem is either well- or…

Quantum geometry in centrosymmetric systems has motivated the search for photocurrent responses beyond second order. In particular, electric field-induced nonlinear responses may also enable intrinsic polarization-sensitive optical…

The surface figure of x-ray mirrors can be improved by differential deposition of thin films. To achieve the required corrections, WSi2 layers of variable thickness were deposited through beam-defining apertures of different openings. The…

Images taken through window glass are often degraded by contaminants adhered to the glass surfaces. Such contaminants cause occlusions that attenuate the incoming light and scatter stray light towards the camera. Most of existing deep…

We present a detailed study of the effects of imperfect atom-optical manipulation in Bragg-based light-pulse atom interferometers. Off-resonant higher-order diffraction leads to population loss, spurious interferometer paths, and…

The significance of the broken ray transform (BRT) is due to its occurrence in a number of modalities spanning optical, x-ray, and nuclear imaging. When data are indexed by the scatter location, the BRT is both linear and shift invariant.…

Treatment effect estimation can assist in effective decision-making in e-commerce, medicine, and education. One popular application of this estimation lies in the prediction of the impact of a treatment (e.g., a promotion) on an outcome…

(Abbreviated) We show that the XRT spectral response calibration was complicated by various energy offsets in photon counting (PC) and windowed timing (WT) modes related to the way the CCD is operated in orbit (variation in temperature…

Cornea cell count is an important diagnostic tool commonly used by practitioners to assess the health of a patient's cornea. Unfortunately, clinical specular microscopy requires the acquisition of a large number of images at different focus…

Acquired images for medical and other purposes can be affected by noise from both the equipment used in the capturing or the environment. This can have adverse effect on the information therein. Thus, the need to restore the image to its…

In this report, we present and compare the results of an improved fractional and integer order partial differential equation (PDE)-based binarization scheme. The improved model incorporates a diffusion term in addition to the edge and…

The iterative refinement method (IRM) has been very successfully applied in many different fields for examples the modern quantum chemical calculation and CT image reconstruction. It is proved that the refinement method can create an exact…

In low-light image enhancement, Retinex-based deep learning methods have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional interpretability. These methods decompose images into mutually independent illumination and reflectance…

Laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) is applied to ex-vivo porcine livers. An artificial blood vessel is used to study the cooling effect of larger blood vessels in proximity to the ablation zone. The same setting is simulated…
