Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

After many years of development, the techniques in computational imaging have caused profound societal and financial effects. With the rapid changes and developments in application environments and detection technologies, traditional methods are unable to provide high-quality imaging needs. Providing strong and effective methods to ensure the resolution, clarity, efficiency, and robustness of imaging in different application scenarios is becoming important, both in academia and industry. In particular, it is urgent to explore and develop new imaging technologies with higher resolutions, smaller optical system sizes, stronger adaptability, longer detection distances, and larger fields of view. Moreover, there are still many open problems in this area that need to be studied more deeply. Therefore, research on advanced techniques in computational imaging and its applications can bring about countless potential improvements to our world.

The objective of this Special Issue is to attract the latest research results dedicated to computational imaging and its applications. This Special Issue will bring leading researchers and developers from both academia and industry together to present their novel research on computational imaging and its applications. The submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and will be selected based on their quality and relevance to the main themes of this Special Issue.

The scope includes, but is not limited to:

(1) 3D imaging;

(2) Polarization imaging;

(3) Scattering imaging;

(4) Wave front Coding Imaging;

(5) Phase imaging;

(6) Biomedical imaging;

(7) Computational imaging with deep learning

(8) Lensless optics;

We propose a method for multiple-depth extraction in diffraction grating imaging. A diffraction grating can optically generate a diffraction image array (DIA) having parallax information about a three-dimensional (3D) object. The optically generated DIA has the characteristic of forming images periodically, and the period depends on the depth of the object, the wavelength of the light source, and the grating period of the diffraction grating. The depth image can be extracted through the convolution of the DIA and the periodic delta function array. Among the methods for extracting depth images through the convolution characteristics of a parallax image array (PIA) and delta function array, an advanced spatial filtering method for the controllable extract of multiple depths (CEMD) has been studied as one of the reconstruction methods. And that possibility was confirmed through a lens-array-based computational simulation. In this paper, we aim to perform multiple-depth extraction by applying the CEMD method to a DIA obtained optically through a diffraction grating. To demonstrate the application of the CEMD in diffraction grating imaging, a theoretical analysis is performed to apply the CEMD in diffraction grating imaging; the DIA is acquired optically, and the spatial filtering process is performed through computational methods and then compared with the conventional single-depth extraction method in diffraction grating imaging. The application of the CEMD to DIA enables the simultaneous reconstruction of images corresponding to multiple depths through a single spatial filtering process. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first research on the extraction of multiple-depth images in diffraction grating imaging. Full article

This paper proposes a weakly supervised cross-domain person re-identification (Re-ID) method based on small sample data. In order to reduce the cost of data collection and annotation, the model design focuses on extracting and abstracting the information contained in the data under limited conditions. In this paper, we focus on the problems of strong data dependence, weak cross-domain capability and low accuracy in Re-ID in weakly supervised scenarios. Our contributions are as follows: first, we implement a joint training framework with the help of small sample learning and cross-domain migration for Re-ID. Second, with the help of residual compensation and fusion attention module, the RCFA module is designed, and the model framework is built on this basis to improve the cross-domain ability of the model. Third, to solve the problem of low accuracy caused by insufficient data coverage of small samples, a fusion of shallow features and deep features is designed to enable the model to weighted fusion of shallow detail information and deep semantic information. Finally, by selecting different camera images in Market1501 dataset and DukeMTMC-reID dataset as small samples, respectively, and introducing another dataset data for joint training, we demonstrate the feasibility of this joint training framework, which can perform weakly supervised cross-domain Re-ID based on small sample data.
