A new statistical method is proposed for deblurring two-tone images, i.e., images with two unknown grey levels, that are blurred by an unknown linear filter. The key idea of the proposed method is to adjust a deblurring filter until its output becomes two tone. Two optimization criteria are proposed for the adjustment of the deblurring filter. A three-step iterative algorithm (TSIA) is also proposed to minimize the criteria. It is proven mathematically that by minimizing either of the criteria, the original (nonblurred) image, along with the blur filter, will be recovered uniquely (only with possible scale/shift ambiguities) at high SNR. The recovery is guaranteed not only for i.i.d. images but also for correlated and nonstationary images. It does not require a priori knowledge of the statistical parameters or the tone values of the original image; neither does it require a priori knowledge of the phase or other special information (e.g., FIR, symmetry, nonnegativity, etc.) about the blur filter. Numerical experiments are carried out to test the method on synthetic and real images.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that affects 10 % of reproductive-aged women and characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The disease is linked to a pro-inflammatory environment in the peritoneal fluid of patients, with high levels of cytokines, growth factors, and reactive oxygen species. Changes in the peritoneal fluid, such as altered immune cells and cytokines, can be linked to the immune balance in endometriosis.

In this work, we present and study Continuous Generative Neural Networks (CGNNs), namely, generative models in the continuous setting: the output of a CGNN belongs to an infinite-dimensional function space. The architecture is inspired by DCGAN, with one fully connected layer, several convolutional layers and nonlinear activation functions. In the continuous setting, the dimensions of the spaces of each layer are replaced by the scales of a multiresolution analysis of a compactly supported wavelet.

Experimental validation of complex microkinetic models derived from quantum chemistry is crucial for the advancement of bottom-up approaches to heterogeneous catalysis. State-of-the-art velocity-resolved kinetics experiments have made tremendous progress in this arena but integrate reactivity over centimeter-scale single-crystal catalytic surfaces even when complex spatial phenomena may perturb the kinetic results. We report a new design, optimization, and analysis of an ion imaging microscope that can collect spatially resolved kinetic data from a catalytic surface.

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging aims at recovering the shape and albedo of hidden objects. Despite recent advances, real-time video of complex and dynamic scenes remains a major challenge owing to the weak signal of multiply scattered light. Here we propose and demonstrate a framework of spectrum filtering and motion compensation to realize high-quality NLOS video for room-sized scenes.

Article Synopsis
- Snapshot Mosaic Hyperspectral Cameras (SMHCs) face challenges in motion perception due to narrow-band spectral filters, which can cause blurry images.
- The paper proposes a hardware-software collaboration that combines SMHCs with neuromorphic event cameras to enhance frame clarity and recover spectral details using a new model called spectral-aware Event-based Double Integral (sEDI).
- A Noise Awareness training framework, along with a specialized Event-enhanced Hyperspectral frame Deblurring Network (EvHDNet), improves the robustness and effectiveness of image deblurring, showing better results than current top methods.
