• Abstract: Resolving the separation between two incoherent optical sources with high precision is of great significance for fluorescence imaging and astronomical observations. In this paper, we focus on a more general scenario where two sources have unequal brightnesses. We give the ultimate precision limit with respect to separation by using the quantum Fisher information. Through the calculation of the classical Fisher information, we analyze and compare several specific measurement schemes including direct measurement, Gaussian mode measurement and zero-photon measurement. The results indicate that Gaussian mode measurement is the nearly optimal for a small separation. Our work provides a positive complement to the aspect of superresolution imaging of incoherent sources.

• Superresolution in separation estimation between two dynamic incoherent sources using spatial demultiplexing [0.0]
  Recently, perfect measurement based on spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) in Hermite-Gauss modes allowed one to reach the quantum limit of precision for estimation of separation between two weak incoherent stationary sources. In this paper, we consider another deviation from the perfect setup by discarding the assumption about the stationarity of the sources. We formulate a measurement algorithm that allows for the reduction of one parameter for estimation in the stationary sources scenario.

  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.

  We study the problem of stereo matching from a pair of images with different resolutions, e.g., those acquired with a tele-wide camera system. We propose to impose the consistency between two views in a feature space instead of the image space, named feature-metric consistency. We find that, although a stereo matching network trained with the photometric loss is not optimal, its feature extractor can produce degradation-agnostic and matching-specific features.

  We study a system of two interacting, non-indentical quantum emitters driven by a coherent field. We show that the features imprinted by the two-photon dynamics into the spectrum of resonance fluorescence are particularly sensitive to changes in the distance between emitters. This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.

  We propose a new method for high-resolution optical flow estimation with significantly less computation. We first perform a 1D attention operation in the vertical direction of the target image, and then a simple 1D correlation in the horizontal direction of the attended image. Experiments on Sintel, KITTI and real-world 4K resolution images demonstrated the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed method.
