Physics-Driven Machine Learning for Computational Imaging [From the Guest Editor

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed a rapidly growing interest in next-generation imaging systems and their combination with machine learning. While model-based imaging schemes that incorporate physics-based forward models, noise models, and image priors laid the foundation in the emerging field of computational sensing and imaging, recent advances in machine learning, from large-scale optimization to building deep neural networks, are increasingly being applied in modern computational imaging. A wide range of machine learning techniques can be applied to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of computational imaging systems, thus redefining state-of-the-art computational imaging algorithms.
