• Title: Rethinking the modeling of the instrumental response of telescopes with a differentiable optical model
• Authors: Tobias Liaudat and Jean-Luc Starck and Martin Kilbinger and Pierre-Antoine Frugier
• Abstract summary: We propose a paradigm shift in the data-driven modeling of the instrumental response field of telescopes. By adding a differentiable optical forward model into the modeling framework, we change the data-driven modeling space from the pixels to the wavefront. Our framework allows a way forward to building powerful models that are physically motivated, interpretable, and that do not require special calibration data.

• Abstract: We propose a paradigm shift in the data-driven modeling of the instrumental response field of telescopes. By adding a differentiable optical forward model into the modeling framework, we change the data-driven modeling space from the pixels to the wavefront. This allows to transfer a great deal of complexity from the instrumental response into the forward model while being able to adapt to the observations, remaining data-driven. Our framework allows a way forward to building powerful models that are physically motivated, interpretable, and that do not require special calibration data. We show that for a simplified setting of a space telescope, this framework represents a real performance breakthrough compared to existing data-driven approaches with reconstruction errors decreasing 5 fold at observation resolution and more than 10 fold for a 3x super-resolution. We successfully model chromatic variations of the instrument's response only using noisy broad-band in-focus observations.

  We show that a fixed-point-inspired iterative approach to invert real-world images does not achieve convergence, instead oscillating between distinct clusters. We introduce a simple and fast distribution transfer technique that facilitates image enhancement, stroke-based recoloring, as well as visual prompt-guided image editing.

Second, we introduce a dual-stream denoiser to semantically and geometrically model hand-object interactions.

  NeuroLens is a neural lens model for distortion and vignetting that can be used for point projection and ray casting. It can be used to perform pre-capture calibration using classical calibration targets, and can later be used to perform calibration or refinement during 3D reconstruction. The model generalizes across many lens types and is trivial to integrate into existing 3D reconstruction and rendering systems.

  Deep generative models have demonstrated successful applications in learning non-linear data distributions through a number of latent variables. The nonlinearity of the generator implies that the latent space shows an unsatisfactory projection of the data space, which results in poor representation learning. We show that geodesics and accurate computation can substantially improve the performance of deep generative models.

  We solve the problem of 6-DoF localisation and 3D dense reconstruction in spatial environments as approximate Bayesian inference in a deep state-space model.

We evaluate our approach on realistic unmanned aerial vehicle flight data, nearing the performance of state-of-the-art visual-inertial odometry systems.
