The depth-of-field (DoF) effect, which introduces aesthetically pleasing blur, enhances photographic quality but is fixed and difficult to modify once the image has been created. This becomes problematic when the applied blur is…

Although nowadays advanced dense image matching (DIM) algorithms are able to produce LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) comparable dense point clouds from satellite stereo images, the accuracy and completeness of such point clouds heavily…

We introduce Focal Split, a handheld, snapshot depth camera with fully onboard power and computing based on depth-from-differential-defocus (DfDD). Focal Split is passive, avoiding power consumption of light sources. Its achromatic optical…

This paper is concerned with performance analysis for data association, in a target tracking environment. Effects of misassociation are considered in a simple (linear) multiscan framework so as to provide closed-form expressions of the…

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a widely used optical metrology for quantitative deformation measurement due to its non-contact, low-cost, highly precise feature. DIC relies on nonlinear optimization algorithm. Thus it is quite important…

Existing detectors are often trained on biased datasets, leading to the possibility of overfitting on non-causal image attributes that are spuriously correlated with real/synthetic labels. While these biased features enhance performance on…

We study harmonic measure in finite graphs with an emphasis on expanders, that is, positive spectral gap. It is shown that if the spectral gap is positive then for all sets that are not too large the harmonic measure from a uniform starting…

A quantitative synthetic Schlieren imaging (SSI) method based on fast Fourier demodulation is presented. Instead of a random dot pattern (as usually employed in SSI), a 2D periodic pattern (such as a checkerboard) is used as a backdrop to…

We introduce a new algorithm for interpolating measurements of the point-spread function (PSF) using stars from many exposures. The principal components of the variation in the PSF pattern from multiple exposures are used to solve for…

Purpose: The aim of this phantom study was to evaluate the influence of patient alignment on the image quality by a C-arm flat-panel detector computer tomography (CACT). Materials and Methods: An ACR phantom placed in two opposite…

Computer generated holography requires high-speed spatial light modulators (SLMs) for dynamically patterning light in 3D. Piston-motion micromirror-based SLMs support high-speed ($\geq$ 10 kHz) phase modulation; however, fabricating…

For optical phase estimation via homodyne measurement, we generalize the theory from detector's linear to nonlinear response regime, which accounts for the presence of saturation effect. For optical coherent light, we carry out analytic…

Advancements in diffusion-based foundation models have improved text-to-image generation, yet most efforts have been limited to low-resolution settings. As high-resolution image synthesis becomes increasingly essential for various…

The tilt, rotation, or offset of each CCD with respect to the focal plane, as well as the distortion of the focal plane itself, cause shape distortions to the observed objects, an effect typically known as field distortion (FD). We point…

AI-generated imagery has reached near-photorealistic fidelity, yet this technology poses significant threats to information security and societal trust. Existing deepfake detection methods often exhibit limited robustness in open-world…

This paper proposes a novel method to filter out the false alarm of LiDAR system by using the temporal correlation of target reflected photons. Because of the inevitable noise, which is due to background light and dark counts of the…

Arrays of photodetector-based pixel sensors are ubiquitous in modern devices, such as smart phone cameras, automobiles, drones, laptops etc. Two dimensional (2D) material-based photodetector arrays are a relevant candidate, especially for…

The development of sensitive large format imaging arrays for the infrared promises to provide revolutionary capabilities for space astronomy. For example, the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on SIRTF will use four 256 x 256 arrays to provide…

Dark count rate and correlated noise rate are among the main parameters that characterize silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). Typically, these parameters are evaluated by applying approximate formulas, or by fitting specific models, to the…

Fourier ptychographic (FP) microscope is a coherent imaging method that can synthesize an image with a higher bandwidth using multiple low-bandwidth images captured at different spatial frequency regions. The method's demand for multiple…
