  1. This article deals with an original method to estimate the noise introduced by optical imaging systems, such as CCD cameras. The power of the signal-dependent photon noise is decoupled from the power of the si...

  2. We present a two-step technique for estimating the point spread function (PSF) field from a single star field image affected by shift-variant (SV) blur. The first step estimates the best-fitting PSF for each b...

  3. Due to the ongoing miniaturization of digital camera sensors and the steady increase of the “number of megapixels”, individual sensor elements of the camera become more sensitive to noise, even deteriorating t...

  5. Pixel binning refers to the concept of combining the electrical charges of neighboring pixels together to form a superpixel. The main benefit of this technique is that the combined charges would overcome the r...

  6. We advocate a compressed sensing strategy that consists of multiplying the signal of interest by a wide bandwidth modulation before projection onto randomly selected vectors of an orthonormal basis. First, in ...

  8. Image restoration aims to restore an image within a given domain from a blurred and noisy acquisition. However, the convolution operator, which models the degradation, is truncated in a real observation causin...
