LensBridge: Frequency-Guided Compound Degradation Adaptation for Lens Aberration Correction and Veiling Glare Removal

LensBridge is a two‑stage framework that extends reusable aberration‑correction models to handle both lens aberrations and veiling glare (VG). Stage I builds a PSF‑aware diffusion foundation using discrete degradation priors from a large Lens Library, enabling aberration correction without explicit PSF input. Stage II adapts this foundation to compound degradation via frequency‑guided techniques—Frequency‑guided Degradation Completion (FDC) synthesizes training pairs and Frequency‑guided Pseudo Decomposition (FPD) conditions separate adaptation branches—allowing joint aberration correction and VG removal with only a few unpaired target observations.

Realistic Compound-Lens Defocus Blur Synthesis

Defocus blur degrades fine image structures and limits visual perception, which can adversely affect downstream vision tasks. Although recent deep learning deblurring methods have achieved strong performance, their effectiveness depends on training data and often degrades across cameras and lenses due to limited optical diversity and realism in existing datasets.

Unwarping the Lens: A Physics-Grounded Approach to Video Glasses Removal

arXiv:2608. 20212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-fidelity removal of eyeglasses from video is a major challenge in facial attribute editing, as the underlying facial geometry is often obscured by complex refractive distortions and view-dependent specular reflections.

Collaborative On-Sensor Array Cameras

The paper presents a collaborative on‑sensor array camera that uses a distributed meta‑optics learning method to jointly optimize a 100‑million‑nanopost metasurface array for broadband visible imaging. By training the array end‑to‑end with a learned meta‑atom proxy and a parallax‑aware, noise‑aware reconstruction algorithm, the design overcomes the wavelength‑dependent limitations of traditional metalenses. Experimental results show that the camera delivers consistent image quality across varying scene illumination spectra without relying on generative reconstruction.

NaCR: Visual Localization via NeRF-aided Camera Ray Regression

NaCR: Visual Localization via NeRF-aided Camera Ray Regression proposes a unified framework that integrates Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) with Camera Ray Regression (CRR) to improve visual localization accuracy. The method enhances the CRR baseline with three simple improvements, augments training data by synthesizing novel views from a pre‑trained NeRF, and employs a closed‑loop supervision pipeline that back‑propagates photometric rendering errors to refine predicted camera rays. A two‑stage training curriculum ensures stable convergence, and experiments on indoor and outdoor benchmarks show competitive accuracy with validated component efficacy.
