X-ray image separation via coupled dictionary learning
In support of art investigation, we propose a new source sepa- ration method
that unmixes a single X-ray scan acquired from double-sided paintings. Unlike
prior source separation meth- ods, which are based on statistical or structural
incoherence of the sources, we use visual images taken from the front- and
back-side of the panel to drive the separation process. The coupling of the two
imaging modalities is achieved via a new multi-scale dictionary learning
method. Experimental results demonstrate that our method succeeds in the
discrimination of the sources, while state-of-the-art methods fail to do so.Comment: To be presented at the IEEE International Conference on Image

Recent Progress in Image Deblurring
This paper comprehensively reviews the recent development of image
deblurring, including non-blind/blind, spatially invariant/variant deblurring
techniques. Indeed, these techniques share the same objective of inferring a
latent sharp image from one or several corresponding blurry images, while the
blind deblurring techniques are also required to derive an accurate blur
kernel. Considering the critical role of image restoration in modern imaging
systems to provide high-quality images under complex environments such as
motion, undesirable lighting conditions, and imperfect system components, image
deblurring has attracted growing attention in recent years. From the viewpoint
of how to handle the ill-posedness which is a crucial issue in deblurring
tasks, existing methods can be grouped into five categories: Bayesian inference
framework, variational methods, sparse representation-based methods,
homography-based modeling, and region-based methods. In spite of achieving a
certain level of development, image deblurring, especially the blind case, is
limited in its success by complex application conditions which make the blur
kernel hard to obtain and be spatially variant. We provide a holistic
understanding and deep insight into image deblurring in this review. An
analysis of the empirical evidence for representative methods, practical
issues, as well as a discussion of promising future directions are also
presented.Comment: 53 pages, 17 figure
Multispectral and Hyperspectral Image Fusion by MS/HS Fusion Net
Hyperspectral imaging can help better understand the characteristics of
different materials, compared with traditional image systems. However, only
high-resolution multispectral (HrMS) and low-resolution hyperspectral (LrHS)
images can generally be captured at video rate in practice. In this paper, we
propose a model-based deep learning approach for merging an HrMS and LrHS
images to generate a high-resolution hyperspectral (HrHS) image. In specific,
we construct a novel MS/HS fusion model which takes the observation models of
low-resolution images and the low-rankness knowledge along the spectral mode of
HrHS image into consideration. Then we design an iterative algorithm to solve
the model by exploiting the proximal gradient method. And then, by unfolding
the designed algorithm, we construct a deep network, called MS/HS Fusion Net,
with learning the proximal operators and model parameters by convolutional
neural networks. Experimental results on simulated and real data substantiate
the superiority of our method both visually and quantitatively as compared with
state-of-the-art methods along this line of research.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
