Quantitative phase and amplitude imaging using Differential-Interference Contrast (DIC) microscopy
We present an extension of the development of an alternating minimization (AM) method1 for the computation of a specimen's complex transmittance function (magnitude and phase...

Iterative demosaicking accelerated: theory and fast noniterative implementations
Color image demosaicking is a key process in the digital imaging pipeline. In this paper, we present a rigorous treatment of a classical demosaicking algorithm based on alternatin...

Dictionaries for sparse representation and recovery of reflectances
The surface reflectance function of many common materials varies slowly over the visible wavelength range. For this reason, linear models with a small number of bases (5-8) are fr...

Image zooming with contour stencils
We introduce "contour stencils" as a simple method for detecting the local orientation of image contours and apply this detection to image zooming. Our approach is motiv...

Dantzig selector homotopy with dynamic measurements
The Dantzig selector is a near ideal estimator for recovery of sparse signals from linear measurements in the presence of noise. It is a convex optimization problem which can be r...

Wavelet-based Poisson rate estimation using the Skellam distribution
Owing to the stochastic nature of discrete processes such as photon counts in imaging, real-world data measurements often exhibit heteroscedastic behavior. In particular, time ser...

Multi-object segmentation using coupled nonparametric shape and relative pose priors
We present a new method for multi-object segmentation in a maximum a posteriori estimation framework. Our method is motivated by the observation that neighboring or coupling objec...
