Deep Learning for All-in-Focus Imaging

By: 
Dr. Qian Huang

Focus stacking is an effective approach to extending the depth of field of a camera, yet is challenging with regard to 1) controlling focal planes in forming a stack and 2) fusing the focal stack into composites free from defocusing, i.e., all-in-focus. We propose a deep learning all-in-focus imaging pipeline as a novel solution for focus stacking.

Deep CNN-Based Channel Estimation Using 3D Channel Correlation

By: 
Peihao Dong

Millimeter wave (mmWave) communications provide a promising solution to meet the proliferating demand for high data rate because of large bandwidth. The current “boomingly” deployed fifth generation communication system (5G) has not actually touched the dominant frequency band of mmWave and thus can hardly enjoy its merit on dramatically boosting transmission rate, which motivates us to conduct research on the ultimate implementation of mmWave communications.

Coarse-to-Fine CNN for Image Super-Resolution

By: 
Chunwei Tian, Yong Xu, Wangmeng Zuo, Bob Zhang, Lunke Fei, Chia-Wen Lin

A coarse-to-fine SR CNN (CFSRCNN) consisting of a stack of feature extraction blocks (FEBs), an enhancement block (EB), a construction block (CB) and, a feature refinement block (FRB) is proposed to learn a robust SR model.

Deep-learning-based audio-visual speech enhancement

By: 
Dr. Daniel Michelsanti

We all experienced the discomfort of communicating with our friends at a cocktail party or in a pub with loud background music. When difficult acoustic scenarios like these occur, we tend to rely on several visual cues, such as lips and mouth movement of the speaker, in order to understand the speech of interest.
