Bits from Photons: Oversampled Image Acquisition Using Binary Poisson Statistics

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Feng Yang, Yue Lu

We study a new image sensor that is reminiscent of traditional photographic film. Each pixel in the sensor has a binary response, giving only a one-bit quantized measurement of the local light intensity. To analyze its performance, we formulate the oversam ...

Image sensor having nonlinear response

Martin Vetterli, Edoardo Charbon, Luciano Sbaiz, Sabine Süsstrunk

In previously known imaging devices as in still and motion cameras, for example, image sensor signal response typically is linear as a function of intensity of incident light. Desirably, however, akin to the response of the human eye, response is sought to ...

Image annotation on portable devices

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz

A system for automated annotation of images and videos points a mobile device towards an object of interest, such as a building or landscape scenery, for the device to display an image of the scene with an annotation for the object. An annotation can inclu ...

Acoustic tomography for scalar and vector fields: theory and application to temperature and wind estimation

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Ivana Jovanovic

Acoustic tomography is a type of inverse problem. The idea of estimating physical quantities that influence sound propagation by measuring the parameters of propagation has proven to be successful in many practical domains, including temperature and wind e ...

Image Reconstruction in the Gigavision Camera

Martin Vetterli, Edoardo Charbon, Sabine Süsstrunk, Luciano Sbaiz, Feng Yang

Recently we have proposed a new image device called the gigavision camera. The main feature of this camera is that the pixels have a binary response. The response function of a gigavision sensor is non-linear and similar to a logarithmic function, which ma ...

The Gigavision Camera

Martin Vetterli, Edoardo Charbon, Sabine Süsstrunk, Luciano Sbaiz, Feng Yang

We propose a new image device called gigavision camera. The main differences between a conventional and a gigavision camera are that the pixels of the gigavision camera are binary and orders of magnitude smaller. A gigavision camera can be built using stan ...

Groebner Basis Methods for Multichannel Sampling with Unknown Offsets

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Patrick Vandewalle

In multichannel sampling, several sets of sub-Nyquist sampled signal values are acquired. The offsets between the sets are unknown, and have to be resolved, just like the parameters of the signal itself. This problem is nonlinear in the offsets, but linear ...

Sound Field Analysis Along a Circle and its Application to HRTF Interpolation

Martin Vetterli, Christof Faller, Luciano Sbaiz, Thibaut Ajdler

The sampling and interpolation of a sound field in two and three dimensions along a circle is discussed. The Fourier domain representation of the sound field is used, and an angular sampling theorem is developed for the sampling of the sound field along a ...

Higher Order SVD Analysis for Dynamic Texture Synthesis

Sabine Süsstrunk, Luciano Sbaiz, Roberto Costantini

Videos representing flames, water, smoke, etc. are often defined as dynamic textures: "textures" because they are characterized by redundant repetition of a pattern and "dynamic" because this repetition is also in time and not only in space. Dynamic textur ...

Super-Resolution from Unregistered and Totally Aliased Signals Using Subspace Methods

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Patrick Vandewalle

In many applications, the sampling frequency is limited by the physical characteristics of the components: the pixel pitch, the rate of the A/D converter, etc. A low-pass filter is then often applied before the sampling operation to avoid aliasing. However ...
