• Abstract summary: We show that the protocol enables to change the focused planes, in post-processing, and to achieve an unprecedented combination of image resolution and depth of field. Results lead the way towards the development of compact designs for correlation plenoptic imaging devices based on chaotic light, as well as high-SNR plenoptic imaging devices based on entangled photon illumination.

• Abstract: We propose a novel method to perform plenoptic imaging at the diffraction limit by measuring second-order correlations of light between two reference planes, arbitrarily chosen, within the tridimensional scene of interest. We show that for both chaotic light and entangled-photon illumination, the protocol enables to change the focused planes, in post-processing, and to achieve an unprecedented combination of image resolution and depth of field. In particular, the depth of field results larger by a factor 3 with respect to previous correlation plenoptic imaging protocols, and by an order of magnitude with respect to standard imaging, while the resolution is kept at the diffraction limit. The results lead the way towards the development of compact designs for correlation plenoptic imaging devices based on chaotic light, as well as high-SNR plenoptic imaging devices based on entangled photon illumination, thus contributing to make correlation plenoptic imaging effectively competitive with commercial plenoptic devices.

• Correlation Hyperspectral Imaging [0.0]
  Hyperspectral imaging aims at providing information on both the spatial and the spectral distribution of light, with high resolution. We address this limitation by exploiting light intensity correlations, which are shown to enable overcoming the typical downsides of traditional hyperspectral imaging techniques. The enabled combination of high spatial and spectral resolution, high speed, and insensitivity to undesired spectral features shall lead to a paradigm change in hyperspectral imaging devices.

  Two-view structure-from-motion (SfM) is the cornerstone of 3D reconstruction and visual SLAM. We propose to revisit the problem of deep two-view SfM by leveraging the well-posedness of the classic pipeline. Our method consists of 1) an optical flow estimation network that predicts dense correspondences between two frames; 2) a normalized pose estimation module that computes relative camera poses from the 2D optical flow correspondences, and 3) a scale-invariant depth estimation network that leverages epipolar geometry to reduce the search space, refine the dense correspondences, and estimate relative depth maps.
