Learning the Night Sky with Deep Generative Priors
Recovering sharper images from blurred observations, referred to as deconvolution, is an ill-posed problem where classical approaches often produce unsatisfactory results. In ground-based astronomy, combining multiple exposures to achieve images with higher signal-to-noise ratios is complicated by the variation of point-spread functions across exposures due to atmospheric effects. We develop an unsupervised multi-frame method for denoising, deblurring, and coadding images inspired by deep generative priors. We use a carefully chosen convolutional neural network architecture that combines information from multiple observations, regularizes the joint likelihood over these observations, and allows us to impose desired constraints, such as non-negativity of pixel values in the sharp, restored image. With an eye towards the Rubin Observatory, we analyze 4K by 4K Hyper Suprime-Cam exposures and obtain preliminary results which yield promising restored images and extracted source lists.

NightHaze: Nighttime Image Dehazing via Self-Prior Learning
Masked autoencoder (MAE) shows that severe augmentation during training produces robust representations for high-level tasks. This paper brings the MAE-like framework to nighttime image enhancement, demonstrating that se…

Photography is the art of painting with light, yet nighttime scenes are shaped by competing degradations: intense flares obscure scene structure, while photon-limited regions collapse into noise. Conventional approaches …
UENR-600K: A Large-Scale Physically Grounded Dataset for Nighttime Video Deraining
Nighttime video deraining is uniquely challenging because raindrops interact with artificial lighting. Unlike daytime white rain, nighttime rain takes on various colors and appears locally illuminated. Existing small-sca…
