• Authors: Yucheng Zheng and M. Salman Asif
• Abstract summary: We propose to use coded illumination to improve the quality of images reconstructed with lensless cameras. In our imaging model, the scene/object is illuminated by multiple coded illumination patterns as the lensless camera records sensor measurements. We propose a fast and low-complexity recovery algorithm that exploits the separability and block-diagonal structure in our system.

• Abstract: Mask-based lensless cameras can be flat, thin and light-weight, which makes them suitable for novel designs of computational imaging systems with large surface areas and arbitrary shapes. Despite recent progress in lensless cameras, the quality of images recovered from the lensless cameras is often poor due to the ill-conditioning of the underlying measurement system. In this paper, we propose to use coded illumination to improve the quality of images reconstructed with lensless cameras. In our imaging model, the scene/object is illuminated by multiple coded illumination patterns as the lensless camera records sensor measurements. We designed and tested a number of illumination patterns and observed that shifting dots (and related orthogonal) patterns provide the best overall performance. We propose a fast and low-complexity recovery algorithm that exploits the separability and block-diagonal structure in our system. We present simulation results and hardware experiment results to demonstrate that our proposed method can significantly improve the reconstruction quality.

  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.

  This paper introduces the first approach to reconstruct high-resolution, high-dynamic range color images from raw photographic bursts captured by a handheld camera with exposure bracketing. The proposed algorithm is fast, with low memory requirements compared to state-of-the-art learning-based approaches to image restoration. Experiments demonstrate its excellent performance with super-resolution factors of up to $times 4$ on real photographs taken in the wild with hand-held cameras.

• Learning rich optical embeddings for privacy-preserving lensless image classification [17.169529483306103]
  We exploit the unique multiplexing property of casting the optics as an encoder that produces learned embeddings directly at the camera sensor. We do so in the context of image classification, where we jointly optimize the encoder's parameters and those of an image classifier in an end-to-end fashion. Our experiments show that jointly learning the lensless optical encoder and the digital processing allows for lower resolution embeddings at the sensor, and hence better privacy as it is much harder to recover meaningful images from these measurements.

Second, we consider the mask design problem, for programmable lensless cameras, and provide a design template for optimizing the mask patterns. Third, we use a refinement network as a post-processing step to identify and remove artifacts in the reconstruction.
