Dynamic Black-hole Emission Tomography with Physics-informed Neural Fields

Berthy T. Feng, Andrew A. Chael, David Bromley +3

With the success of static black-hole imaging, the next frontier is the dynamic and 3D imaging of black holes. Recovering the dynamic 3D gas near a black hole would reveal previous…

Position-Blind Ptychography: Viability of image reconstruction via data-driven variational inference

Simon Welker, Lorenz Kuger, Tim Roith +4

In this work, we present and investigate the novel blind inverse problem of position-blind ptychography, i.e., ptychographic phase retrieval without any knowledge of scan positions…

U-DAVI: Uncertainty-Aware Diffusion-Prior-Based Amortized Variational Inference for Image Reconstruction

Ayush Varshney, Katherine L. Bouman, Berthy T. Feng

Ill-posed imaging inverse problems remain challenging due to the ambiguity in mapping degraded observations to clean images. Diffusion-based generative priors have recently shown p…

InverseBench: Benchmarking Plug-and-Play Diffusion Priors for Inverse Problems in Physical Sciences

Hongkai Zheng, Wenda Chu, Bingliang Zhang +9

Plug-and-play diffusion priors (PnPDP) have emerged as a promising research direction for solving inverse problems. However, current studies primarily focus on natural image restor…

Visual Surface Wave Elastography: Revealing Subsurface Physical Properties via Visible Surface Waves

Alexander C. Ogren, Berthy T. Feng, Jihoon Ahn +2

Wave propagation on the surface of a material contains information about physical properties beneath its surface. We propose a method for inferring the thickness and stiffness of a…

STeP: A Framework for Solving Scientific Video Inverse Problems with Spatiotemporal Diffusion Priors

Bingliang Zhang, Zihui Wu, Berthy T. Feng +3

Reconstructing spatially and temporally coherent videos from time-varying measurements is a fundamental challenge in many scientific domains. A major difficulty arises from the spa…
