Direct Data-Driven Vibration Control for Adaptive Optics

Alireza Karimi, Vaibhav Gupta

Adaptive optics (AO) systems are used in ground- based telescopes to improve image resolutions, especially for long-exposure photography, by compensating for the effects of atmospheric turbulence and internal vibrations. Most current AO systems are based o ...

Lippmann Photography: A Signal Processing Perspective

Martin Vetterli, Arnaud Latty, Adam James Scholefield, Gilles Baechler, Michalina Wanda Pacholska

Lippmann (or interferential) photography is the first and only analog photography method that can capture the full color spectrum of a scene in a single take. This technique, invented more than a hundred years ago, records the colors by creating interferen ...

Aux portes du monde miroir

Frédéric Kaplan, Isabella Di Lenardo

The Mirror World is no longer an imaginary device, a mirage in a distant future, it is a reality under construction. In Europe, Asia and on the American continent, large companies and the best universities are working to build the infrastructures, to defin ...

Laser photo-detachment combined with Langmuir probe in magnetized electronegative plasma: how the probe size affects the plasma dynamic?

Ivo Furno, Riccardo Agnello

Laser photo-detachment combined with a Langmuir probe (LP) is used to diagnose negative ion properties in electronegative plasmas. The technique relies on the combined use of a laser pulse and an LP. The laser pulse converts negative ions into electron-ato ...

Quanta burst photography

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Arin Can Ülkü, Mohit Gupta, Shantanu Gupta

Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are an emerging sensor technology capable of detecting individual incident photons, and capturing their time-of-arrival with high timing precision. While these sensors were limited to singlepixel or low-resolution dev ...

Machine learning based detection of digital documents maliciously recaptured from displays

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik, Saleh Gholam Zadeh

We used to say “seeing is believing": this is no longer true. The digitization is changing all aspects of life and business. One of the more noticeable impacts is in how business documents are being authored, exchanged and processed. Many documents such as ...

Compression and visual quality assessment for light field contents

Irene Viola

Since its invention in the 19th century, photography has allowed to create durable images of the world around us by capturing the intensity of light that flows through a scene, first analogically by using light-sensitive material, and then, with the advent ...

Multi-spectral image priniting method

Martin Vetterli, Yves Bellouard, Arnaud Latty, Adam James Scholefield, Gilles Baechler, Michalina Wanda Pacholska

The present disclosure concerns a multi-spectral image printing method. The method includes the steps of: - providing a multi-spectral image; - providing a material; - determining changes in a refractive index value of the material permitting to reproduce ...

Improvements on the uniformity of large-area microlens arrays in Fused Silica

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Raoul Kirner, Jeremy Béguelin

The uniformity of large microlens arrays in Fused Silica is governed by the production process. It comprises photolithographic patterning of a spin-coated layer of photoresist on a 200mm wafer with a molten resist reflow process and subsequent dry etching. ...

Synthetic electronic video containing a hidden image

Sabine Süsstrunk, Roger Hersch, Mahmut Sami Arpa

We present a method for hiding images in synthetic videos and reveal them by temporal averaging. We developed a visual masking method that hides the input image both spatially and temporally. Our masking approach consists of temporal and spatial pixel by p ...

Sampling the Multiple Facets of Light

Gilles Baechler

The theme of this thesis revolves around three important manifestations of light, namely its corpuscular, wave and electromagnetic nature. Our goal is to exploit these principles to analyze, design and build imaging modalities by developing new signal proc ...

The multi-spectral imaging diagnostic

Basil Duval, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Yanis Andrebe, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing

The Multi-Spectral Imaging system is a new diagnostic that captures simultaneous spectrally filtered images from a common line of sight while maintaining a large etendue and high throughput. Imaging several atomic line intensities simultaneously may enable ...

Tensor low-rank and sparse light field photography

Pierre Vandergheynst, Mahdad Hosseini Kamal

High-quality light field photography has been one of the most difficult challenges in computational photography. Conventional methods either sacrifice resolution, use multiple devices, or require multiple images to be captured. Combining coded image acquis ...
