Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Computational sensing and imaging play a major role in imaging techniques and have many applications in areas of medical imaging, 3D imaging, lensless imaging, synthetic aperture radar imaging, seismic imaging, ultrasound imaging, and so on. In addition, extensive research has accelerated the sensing and imaging performance of those applications in the last few years. Specifically, this Special Issue is focused on image processing to obtain high-quality images and to remedy various problems to deteriorate the sensing and imaging performance of physical or optical devices in terms of image quality, imaging speed, and functionality.

This Special Issue aims to broadly engage the communities of image processing and signal sensing to provide a forum for researchers and engineers related to this rapidly developing field, allowing them to share their novel and original research on the topic of computational sensing and imaging. Survey papers addressing relevant topics are also welcome.

This paper introduces an enhancement technique for three-dimensional computational integral imaging by utilizing a post-processing method. Despite the advantages of computational integral imaging systems, the image quality of the systems can suffer from scattering artifacts due to occluding objects during image reconstruction. The occluding objects in out-of-focus locations, especially, can offer scattering artifacts to other objects at in-focus locations. In this study, we propose a novel approach to remove scattering artifacts in reconstructed images from computational integral imaging reconstruction (CIIR). Unlike existing methods such as synthetic aperture integral imaging systems with pre-processing methods, our technique focuses on a post-processing method to remove scattering artifacts. Here, the scattering artifacts are analyzed using a dehazing model with spectral analysis. To enhance the quality of reconstructed images, we introduce a visibility model and an estimation method for a visibility coefficient, a crucial parameter of the dehazing model. Our experimental results from computer simulations indicate that the proposed method is superior to existing computational integral imaging reconstruction (CIIR) methods. Full article

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) raw data do not have a direct application; therefore, SAR raw signal processing algorithms are used to generate images that are used for various required applications. Currently, there are several algorithms focusing SAR raw data such as the range-Doppler algorithm, Chirp Scaling algorithm, and Omega-k algorithm, with these algorithms being the most used and traditional in SAR raw signal processing. The most prominent algorithm that operates in the frequency domain for focusing SAR raw data obtained by a synthetic aperture radar with large synthetic apertures is the Omega-k algorithm, which operates in the two-dimensional frequency domain; therefore, in this paper, we used the Omega-k algorithm to produce SAR images and modify the Omega-k algorithm by adding the Doppler factor to improve the accuracy of SAR raw data processing obtained by the continuous wave and pulsed frequency modulated linear frequency modulated radar system from the surfaces of interest. On the other hand, for the case of unmanned aerial vehicle-borne linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFM-CW) SAR systems, we added motion compensation to the modified Omega-k algorithm. Finally, the testing and validation of the developed Omega-k algorithm used simulated and real SAR raw data for both pulsed synthetic aperture and continuous wave radars. The real SAR raw data used for the validation of the modified Omega-k algorithm were the raw data obtained by the micro advanced synthetic aperture radar (MicroASAR) system, which is an LFM-CW synthetic aperture radar installed on board an unmanned aerial system and the raw data obtained by European remote sensing (ERS-2) satellite with a synthetic aperture radar installed.

In this paper, a fast numerical reconstruction of the integral imaging based on a determined interval mapping is proposed. To reduce the computation time, the proposed method employs the determined interval mapping instead of the use of magnification. In the numerical reconstruction procedure, the acquired elemental image array (EIA) from the 3D object is displayed. The flipped elemental image (EI)s are numerically formed by the virtual pinhole array. Then, the determined interval depending on the reconstruction plane is calculated and applied to each flipped EI. These flipped EIs are shifted to match the determined interval at the reconstruction plane and superimposed together. After this superimposed image is divided by the number of the superposition, the position error between the location of the shifted EI and the pixel position of the reconstruction plane is corrected by interpolation. As a result, the refocused image depending on the reconstruction plane can be reconstructed rapidly. From the experimental result, we confirmed that the proposed method largely decreased the computation time compared with the conventional method. In addition, we verified that the quality of the reconstruction by the proposed method is higher than the conventional method by the use of the structural similarity index method. Full article
