The Secrets of Non-Blind Poisson Deconvolution

Abhiram Gnanasambandam, Yash Sanghvi, Stanley H. Chan

Non-blind image deconvolution has been studied for several decades but most of the existing work focuses on blur instead of noise. In photon-limited conditions, however, the excess…

Photon-Limited Blind Deconvolution using Unsupervised Iterative Kernel Estimation

Yash Sanghvi, Abhiram Gnanasambandam, Zhiyuan Mao +1

Blind deconvolution is a challenging problem, but in low-light it is even more difficult. Existing algorithms, both classical and deep-learning based, are not designed for this con…

Exposure-Referred Signal-to-Noise Ratio for Digital Image Sensors

Abhiram Gnanasambandam, Stanley H. Chan

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a fundamental tool to measure the performance of an image sensor. However, confusions sometimes arise between the two types of SNRs. The first on…

Graph-Based Depth Denoising & Dequantization for Point Cloud Enhancement

Xue Zhang, Gene Cheung, Jiahao Pang +3

A 3D point cloud is typically constructed from depth measurements acquired by sensors at one or more viewpoints. The measurements suffer from both quantization and noise corruption…

Optical Adversarial Attack

Abhiram Gnanasambandam, Alex M. Sherman, Stanley H. Chan

We introduce OPtical ADversarial attack (OPAD). OPAD is an adversarial attack in the physical space aiming to fool image classifiers without physically touching the objects (e.g.,…

Dynamic Low-light Imaging with Quanta Image Sensors

Yiheng Chi, Abhiram Gnanasambandam, Vladlen Koltun +1

Imaging in low light is difficult because the number of photons arriving at the sensor is low. Imaging dynamic scenes in low-light environments is even more difficult because as th…

One Size Fits All: Can We Train One Denoiser for All Noise Levels?

Abhiram Gnansambandam, Stanley H. Chan

When training an estimator such as a neural network for tasks like image denoising, it is often preferred to train one estimator and apply it to all noise levels. The de facto trai…
