• Abstract: We propose a compact snapshot monocular depth estimation technique that relies on an engineered point spread function (PSF). Traditional approaches used in microscopic super-resolution imaging, such as the Double-Helix PSF (DHPSF), are ill-suited for scenes that are more complex than a sparse set of point light sources. We show, using the Cram\'er-Rao lower bound (CRLB), that separating the two lobes of the DHPSF and thereby capturing two separate images leads to a dramatic increase in depth accuracy. A unique property of the phase mask used for generating the DHPSF is that a separation of the phase mask into two halves leads to a spatial separation of the two lobes. We leverage this property to build a compact polarization-based optical setup, where we place two orthogonal linear polarizers on each half of the DHPSF phase mask and then capture the resulting image with a polarization sensitive camera. Results from simulations and a lab prototype demonstrate that our technique achieves up to $50\%$ lower depth error compared to state-of-the-art designs including the DHPSF, and the Tetrapod PSF, with little to no loss in spatial resolution.

  Single-shot 3D sensing is useful in many application areas such as microscopy, medical imaging, surgical navigation, and autonomous driving. We propose CADS (Coded Aperture Dual-Pixel Sensing), in which we use a coded aperture in the imaging lens along with a DP sensor. Our resulting CADS imaging system demonstrates improvement of >1.5dB PSNR in all-in-focus (AIF) estimates and 5-6% in depth estimation quality over naive DP sensing.

  Imaging systems measuring intensity in the far field succumb to Rayleigh's curse, a resolution limitation dictated by the finite aperture of the optical system. Many proof-of-principle and some two-dimensional imaging experiments have shown that, by using spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE), the field information collected is maximal.

  A representative hyperspectral image acquisition procedure conducts a 3D-to-2D encoding by the coded aperture snapshot spectral imager (CASSI) Two major challenges stand in the way of a high-fidelity reconstruction: (i) To obtain 2D measurements, CASSI dislocates multiple channels by disperser-titling and squeezes them onto the same spatial region, yielding an entangled data loss. We propose a spatial-spectral (S2-) transformer architecture with a mask-aware learning strategy to tackle these challenges.

  A long-standing challenge in multiple-particle-tracking is the accurate and precise 3D localization of individual particles at close proximity. One established approach for snapshot 3D imaging is point-spread-function (PSF) engineering, in which the PSF is modified to encode the axial information. Here we suggest using multiple PSFs simultaneously to help overcome this challenge, and investigate the problem of engineering multiple PSFs for dense 3D localization.
