This paper proposes a learning-based denoising method called FlashLight CNN (FLCNN) that implements a deep neural network for image denoising. The proposed approach is based on deep residual networks and inception networks and it is able to leverage many more parameters than residual networks alone for denoising grayscale images corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). FlashLight CNN dem...Show More
We introduce a paradigm for nonlocal sparsity reinforced deep convolutional neural network denoising. It is a combination of a local multiscale denoising by a convolutional neural network (CNN) based denoiser and a nonlocal denoising based on a nonlocal filter (NLF), exploiting the mutual similarities between groups of patches. CNN models are leveraged with noise levels that progressively decrease...Show More
Single image super-resolution (SISR) is an ill-posed problem aiming at estimating a plausible high-resolution (HR) image from a single low-resolution image. Current state-of-the-art SISR methods are patch-based. They use either external data or internal self-similarity to learn a prior for an HR image. External data-based methods utilize a large number of patches from the training data, while self...Show More
This paper reviews the first challenge on single image super-resolution (restoration of rich details in an low resolution image) with focus on proposed solutions and results. A new DIVerse 2K resolution image dataset (DIV2K) was employed. The challenge had 6 competitions divided into 2 tracks with 3 magnification factors each. Track 1 employed the standard bicubic downscaling setup, while Track 2 ...Show More
Sophisticated computational imaging algorithms require both high performance and good energy-efficiency when executed on mobile devices. Recent trend has been to exploit the abundant data-level parallelism found in general purpose programmable GPUs. However, for low-power mobile use cases, generic GPUs consume excessive amounts of power. This paper proposes a programmable computational imaging pro...Show More
The medium access is regarded as being one of the most challenging issues to solve in order to provide de- terministic wireless communications in vehicular networks. It has been demonstrated that standard protocols fail to properly address this issue. The implementation of deterministic Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols is hampered by the fact that commercial devices do not allow modifications...Show More
The medium access is regarded as being one of the most challenging issues to solve in order to provide deterministic wireless communications in vehicular networks. Standard protocols have been shown to fail in addressing this issue and some possible solutions are being proposed, but despite the difficulty of correctly modeling the channel dynamics, most work on Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol...Show More
