Pathspace Kalman Filters with Dynamic Process Uncertainty for Analyzing Time-course Data

no code implementations7 Feb 2024 Chaitra Agrahar, William Poole, Simone Bianco, Hana El-Samad

Here, we develop an extension of the KF, called a Pathspace Kalman Filter (PKF) which allows us to a) dynamically track the uncertainties associated with the underlying data and prior knowledge, and b) take as input an entire trajectory and an underlying mechanistic model, and using a Bayesian methodology quantify the different sources of uncertainty.

Illumination Estimation Challenge: experience of past two years

no code implementations31 Dec 2020 Egor Ershov, Alex Savchik, Ilya Semenkov, Nikola Banić, Karlo Koscević, Marko Subašić, Alexander Belokopytov, Zhihao LI, Arseniy Terekhin, Daria Senshina, Artem Nikonorov, Yanlin Qian, Marco Buzzelli, Riccardo Riva, Simone Bianco, Raimondo Schettini, Sven Lončarić, Dmitry Nikolaev

The main advantage of testing a method on a challenge over testing in on some of the known datasets is the fact that the ground-truth illuminations for the challenge test images are unknown up until the results have been submitted, which prevents any potential hyperparameter tuning that may be biased.

Deep Residual Autoencoder for quality independent JPEG restoration

no code implementations14 Mar 2019 Simone Zini, Simone Bianco, Raimondo Schettini

This results is remarkable since the approaches in the state of the art use a different set of weights for each compression quality, while the proposed model uses the same weights for all of them, making it applicable to images in the wild where the QF used for compression is unkwnown.
