Tackling 3D ToF Artifacts Through Learning and the FLAT Dataset
Scene motion, multiple reflections, and sensor noise introduce artifacts in
the depth reconstruction performed by time-of-flight cameras. We propose a
two-stage, deep-learning approach to address all of these sources of artifacts
simultaneously. We also introduce FLAT, a synthetic dataset of 2000 ToF
measurements that capture all of these nonidealities, and allows to simulate
different camera hardware. Using the Kinect 2 camera as a baseline, we show
improved reconstruction errors over state-of-the-art methods, on both simulated
and real data.Comment: ECCV 201
Sampling from a system-theoretic viewpoint: Part II - Noncausal solutions
This paper puts to use concepts and tools introduced in Part I to address a wide spectrum of noncausal sampling and reconstruction problems. Particularly, we follow the system-theoretic paradigm by using systems as signal generators to account for available information and system norms (L2 and L∞) as performance measures. The proposed optimization-based approach recovers many known solutions, derived hitherto by different methods, as special cases under different assumptions about acquisition or reconstructing devices (e.g., polynomial and exponential cardinal splines for fixed samplers and the Sampling Theorem and its modifications in the case when both sampler and interpolator are design parameters). We also derive new results, such as versions of the Sampling Theorem for downsampling and reconstruction from noisy measurements, the continuous-time invariance of a wide class of optimal sampling-and-reconstruction circuits, etcetera
