Ex uno plures: how to construct high-speed movies of collapsing cavitation bubbles from a single image

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

The time-resolved visualization of the dynamics of a cavitation bubble usually requires the use of expensive high-speed cameras, which often provide a limited spatial resolution. In the present study, we propose an alternative to these high-speed imaging t ...

Gospel of the Marseille Docker - Nicholas Derybolsky from 1952

Sila Karatas

This text, accompanied by a ‘gospel’ that I made by montaging the US-recorded captions, is an attempt for re-narrating Marshall Plan’s discourse on the working class, aka the so-called ‘free labor’ of the US against the ‘communist labor’ of the “Soviet thr ...

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 ...

Sampling Geometry and Colour

Michalina Wanda Pacholska

In this thesis, we take a signal-processing approach to two research areas outside of the core of the signal processing research: geometry reconstruction and light propagation through non-uniform media. In the first area, we consider new sampling schemes ...

Kernel Modeling Super-Resolution on Real Low-Resolution Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Ruofan Zhou

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), trained on corresponding pairs of high- and low-resolution images, achieve state-of-the-art performance in single-image super- resolution and surpass previous signal-processing based approaches. However, their per ...

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 ...

New Approaches to Artistic Synthesis Relying on Visual Perception

Mahmut Sami Arpa

Artists often take advantage of the limitations of the human visual system to create art that provides new experiences for the observers. Similarly, in this thesis, we explore new computational artistic compositions that create new visual experiences by re ...

Variations in Snow Crystal Riming and ZDR: A Case Analysis

Alexis Berne, Christophe Praz

A case study in terms of variations in differential reflectivity Z(DR) observed at X band and snow crystal riming is presented for a light-snow event that occurred near Greeley, Colorado, on 26-27 November 2015. In the early portion of the event, Z(DR) val ...

Privacy-Friendly Photo Sharing and Relevant Applications Beyond

Lin Yuan

Popularization of online photo sharing brings people great convenience, but has also raised concerns for privacy. Researchers proposed various approaches to enable image privacy, most of which focus on encrypting or distorting image visual content. In this ...

Privacy-Preserving Photo Sharing based on a Secure JPEG

Touradj Ebrahimi, Lin Yuan

Sharing photos online is a common activity on social networks and photo hosting platforms, such as Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or Flickr. However, after reports of citizens surveillance by governmental agencies and the scandalous leakage of celebrities ...

Registration of single landscape photographs with 3D landscape models

Timothée Produit

Terrestrial imagery found in public databases is an alternative and complementary data source for environmental studies. Compared to usual data source, such as airborne images, terrestrial pictures may have higher temporal and spatial resolutions. They are ...

Detecting Planar Surface Using a Light-Field Camera with Application to Distinguishing Real Scenes From Printed Photos

Martin Vetterli, Alireza Ghasemi

We propose a novel approach for detecting printed photos from natural scenes using a light-field camera. Our approach exploits the extra information captured by a light-field camera and the multiple views of scene in order to infer a compact feature vector ...

Epitome - A Social Game for Photo Album Summarization

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jong Seok Lee, Ivan Ivanov, Péter Vajda

In this paper, we propose an approach for photo album summarization through a novel social game "Epitome" for mobile phones. Our approach to album summarization consists of two games: "Select the Best!" and "Split it!". The goal of the first game is to all ...

Automatic Red-Eye Removal based on Sclera and Skin Tone Detection

Patrick Vandewalle, Flavien Volken, Johann Terrier

It is well-known that taking portrait photographs with a built in camera may create a red-eye effect. This effect is caused by the light entering the subject’s eye through the pupil and reflecting from the retina back to the sensor. These red eyes are prob ...
