Sandwich GAN: Image Reconstruction from Phase Mask based Anti-dazzle Imaging

arXiv:2402.15919v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Conventional camera systems are susceptible to the adverse effects of laser dazzle, which may over-saturate an image or cause permanent damage to pixels. To address this problem, we developed an approach combining point spread function engineering whereby a wavefront-coded mask in the pupil plane blurs both the laser and scene, together with a deep neural sandwich network. In addition to protecting the sensor, our approach jointly removes the laser from the scene and reconstructs a …
