No time in human history has ever witnessed such explosive influence and impact of image
processing on modern society, sciences, and technologies. From nanotechnologies …

Depth information from focus cues—accommodation and the gradient of retinal blur—is
typically incorrect in three-dimensional (3-D) displays because the light comes from a planar …

We introduce a novel approach to shape from defocus, ie, the problem of inferring the three-
dimensional (3D) geometry of a scene from a collection of defocused images. Typically, in …

We present a signal-processing framework for light transport. We study the frequency
content of radiance and how it is altered by phenomena such as shading, occlusion, and …

Up to now, measurement of drop size remains difficult in dense sprays such as those
encountered in Diesel applications. Commonly used diagnostics are often limited due to …

Video matting is the process of pulling a high-quality alpha matte and foreground from a
video sequence. Current techniques require either a known background (eg, a blue screen) …

The most popular shape from focus (SFF) methods in the literature are based on the concept
of focused image surface (FIS)-the surface formed by the best focus points. According to …

Motion-Free Super-Resolution is a compilation of very recent work on various methods of
generating super-resolution (SR) images from a set of low-resolution images. The current …

The sign of an accommodative response is provided by differences in chromatic aberration
between under-and over-accommodated images. We asked whether these differences …

Active depth from defocus (DFD) eliminates the main limitation faced by passive DFD,
namely its inability to recover depth when dealing with scenes defined by weakly textured …
