Structured Illumination and Variable Density Sampling for Compressive Fourier Transform Interferometry

Abstract: Fourier Transform Interferometry (FTI) is an appealing Hyperspectral (HS) imaging modality for many applications demanding high spectral resolution, e.g., in fluorescence microscopy. However, the effective resolution of FTI is limited by the durability (or photobleaching) of biological elements when exposed to illuminating light.

1-bit Localization Scheme for Radar using Dithered Quantized Compressed Sensing

Abstract: We present a novel scheme allowing for 2D target localization using highly quantized 1-bit measurements from a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar with two receiving antennas. Quantization of radar signals introduces localization artifacts, we remove this limitation by inserting a dithering on the unquantized observations.

A Low-Memory Compressive Image Sensor Architecture for Embedded Object Recognition

Abstract: This work presents a compact image sensor architecture with end-of-column digital processing dedicated to perform embedded object recognition. The architecture takes advantage of a Compressed Sensing (CS) scheme to extract compressed features and to reduce data dimensionality based on a low footprint pseudo random data mixing.

An extreme bit-rate reduction scheme for 2D radar localization

Abstract: In this paper, we further expand on the work in [1] that focused on the localization of targets in a 2D space using 1-bit dithered measurements coming from a 2 receiving antennae radar.

Compressive Classification (Machine Learning without learning)

Abstract: Compressive learning is a framework where (so far unsupervised) learning tasks use not the entire dataset but a compressed summary (sketch) of it. We propose a compressive learning classification method, and a novel sketch function for images.

Compressive hyperspectral imaging: Fourier transform interferometry meets single pixel camera

Abstract: This paper introduces a single-pixel HyperSpectral (HS) imaging framework based on Fourier Transform Interferometry (FTI). By combining a space-time coding of the light illumination with partial interferometric observations of a collimated light beam (observed by a single pixel), our system benefits from (i) reduced measurement rate and light-exposure of the observed object compared to common (Nyquist) FTI imagers, and (ii) high spectral resolution as desirable in, eg, Fluorescence Spectroscopy (FS).

Compressive Sampling Approach for Image Acquisition with Lensless Endoscope

Abstract: The lensless endoscope is a promising device designed to image tissues in vivo at the cellular scale. The traditional acquisition setup consists in raster scanning during which the focused light beam from the optical fiber illuminates sequentially each pixel of the field of view (FOV).

Multilevel Illumination Coding for Fourier Transform Interferometry in Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Abstract: Fourier Transform Interferometry (FTI) is an interferometric procedure for acquiring HyperSpectral (HS) data. Recently, it has been observed that the light source highlighting a (biologic) sample can be coded before the FTI acquisition in a procedure called Coded Illumination-FTI (CI-FTI).

Processing of binary fringe patterns obtained by phase-shifting time-averaged shearography on vibrating objects

Abstract: Shearography can be used for full-field strain measurements in the field of vibration analysis. It provides the spatial derivative of the optical phase difference of the vibration modes amplitude along the so-called shear direction.

Reference-less algorithm for circumstellar disks imaging

Abstract: Circumstellar disks play a key role in the understanding of stellar systems. Direct imaging of such extended structures is a challenging task. Current post-processing techniques, first tailored for exoplanets imaging, tend to produce deformed images of the circumstellar disks, hindering our capability to study their shape and photometry in details.
