About Signal Recovery and Synthesis

Signal recovery and synthesis is concerned with methods for obtaining the best estimate of an image from the data and constraints at hand. The topical area is important to many fields of optics, as well as a broader constituency due to its interdisciplinary nature; examples include image reconstruction from Fourier intensity measurements, superresolution, tomographic reconstruction and blind deconvolution. This topical meeting is concerned with theory, algorithms, computations, and applications of signal recovery and synthesis in optics and other disciplines.

Topics to be Covered

  • Theory
    • Stable inversion of ill-posed problems
    • Image quality analysis/metrics

  • Algorithms/Approaches
    • Phase retrieval
    • Superresolution
    • Tomography
    • Spatially-varying deblurring
  • Computation
    • Computational methods and implementations, including parallel processing
    • Minimization methods for non-convex problems
