For conventional imaging, the imaging resolution limit is given by the Rayleigh criterion. Exploiting the prior knowledge of imaging object's sparsity and fixed optical system, imaging beyond the conventional Rayleigh limit, which is backed…
It is commonly accepted that optical sub-Rayleigh imaging has potential application in many fields. In this Letter, by confining the divergence of the optical field, as well as the size of the illumination source, we show that the…
Remote sensing images (RSIs) in real scenes may be disturbed by multiple factors such as optical blur, undersampling, and additional noise, resulting in complex and diverse degradation models. At present, the mainstream SR algorithms only…
We investigate theoretically coherent detection implemented simultaneously on a set of mutually orthogonal spatial modes in the image plane as a method to characterize properties of a composite thermal source below the Rayleigh limit. A…
The manifestation of the wave nature of light through diffraction imposes limits on the resolution of optical imaging. For over a century, the Abbe-Rayleigh criterion has been utilized to assess the spatial resolution limits of optical…
Most existing super-resolution methods and datasets have been developed to improve the image quality in well-lighted conditions. However, these methods do not work well in real-world low-light conditions as the images captured in such…
As it stands today, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is highly dependent on our ability to detect interesting candidate signals, or technosignatures, in radio telescope observations and distinguish these from human radio…
We propose and demonstrate a photon-efficient optical classifier to overcome the Rayleigh limit in spatial resolution. It utilizes mode-selective sum frequency generation and single-pixel photon detection to resolve closely spaced…
Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) super-resolution imaging technology is widely applied in space target imaging. However, the performance limits of super-resolution imaging algorithms remain a rarely explored issue. This paper…
Direct imaging of exoplanets is usually limited by quasi-static speckles. These uncorrected aberrations in a star's point spread function (PSF) obscure faint companions and limit the sensitivity of high-contrast imaging instruments. Most…
We present a technique that improves the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of range-finding, sensing, and other light-detection applications. The technique filters out low photon numbers using photon-number-resolving detectors (PNRDs). This…
The non-destructive readout mode of a detector allows its pixels to be read multiple times during integration, generating a series of "up-the-ramp" images that keep accumulating photons between successive frames. Since the noise is…
The formalism for computing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for laser radar is reviewed and applied to the tasks of target detection, direction-finding, and phase change estimation with squeezed light. The SNR for heterodyne detection of…
When a high-resolution (HR) image is degraded into a low-resolution (LR) image, the image loses some of the existing information. Consequently, multiple HR images can correspond to the LR image. Most of the existing methods do not consider…
We investigate the recovery of nodes and amplitudes from noisy frequency samples in spike train signals, also known as the super-resolution (SR) problem. When the node separation falls below the Rayleigh limit, the problem becomes…
The Rayleigh limit has so far applied to all microscopy techniques that rely on linear optical interaction and detection in the far field. Here we demonstrate that detecting the light emitted by an object in higher-order transverse…
We present a new algorithm designed to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of point and extended source detections in direct imaging data. The novel part of our method is that it finds the linear combination of the science images that…
Detecting and mitigating Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is critical for enabling and maximising the scientific output of radio telescopes. The emergence of machine learning methods has led to their application in radio astronomy, and in…
No imaging apparatus can produce perfect images: spatial resolution is limited by the Rayleigh diffraction bound that is a consequence of the imager's finite spatial extent. We show some N-photon strategies that permit resolution of details…
Radio tomographic imaging (RTI) is an emerging technology to locate physical objects in a geographical area covered by wireless networks. From the attenuation measurements collected at spatially distributed sensors, radio tomography…
