A KL Divergence-Based Loss for In Vivo Ultrafast Ultrasound Image Enhancement with Deep Learning

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Roser Vinals Terres

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging, characterized by high frame rates, generates low-quality images. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated great potential to enhance image quality without compromising the frame rate. However, CNNs have been most ...

Time Dependent Image Generation of Plants from Incomplete Sequences with CNN-Transformer

Marc Conrad Russwurm

Data imputation of incomplete image sequences is an essential prerequisite for analyzing and monitoring all development stages of plants in precision agriculture. For this purpose, we propose a conditional Wasserstein generative adversarial network TransGr ...

Pulse-Stream Models In Time-Of-Flight Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Dimitris Perdios, Adrien Georges Jean Besson

This paper considers the problem of reconstructing raw signals from random projections in the context of time-of-flight imaging with an array of sensors. It presents a new signal model, coined as multi-channel pulse-stream model, which exploits pulse-strea ...

Design rules for optimizing unipolar coded Brillouin optical time-domain analyzers

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Simon Adrien Zaslawski, Zonglei Li

The performance of unipolar unicolor coded Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) is evaluated based on both Simplex and Golay codes. Four major detrimental factors that limit the system performance, including decoded-gain trace distortion, coding ...

Jitter Analysis and Measurement in Subthreshold Source-Coupled Differential Ring Oscillators

Seyed Armin Tajalli, Mahsa Shoaran, Yusuf Leblebici

The jitter and the phase noise of ring oscillators utilizing subthreshold source-coupled logic (STSCL) style are analyzed in this paper. Closed-form equations are derived to predict the jitter and phase noise caused by white and flicker noise. Measurement ...

Estimation of Sparse MIMO Channels with Common Support

Martin Vetterli, Ali Hormati, Yann Barbotin

We consider the problem of estimating sparse communication channels in the MIMO context. In small to medium bandwidth communications, as in the current standards for OFDM and CDMA communication systems (with bandwidth up to 20 MHz), such channels are indiv ...

Correlation-based Joint Acquisition and Demosaicing of Visible and Near-Infrared Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Yue Lu, Zahra Sadeghipoor Kermani

Joint processing of visible (RGB) and near-infrared (NIR) images has recently found some appealing applications, which make joint capturing a pair of visible and NIR images an important problem. In this paper, we propose a new method to design color filter ...
