Julien Flamant from CRAN – Université de Lorraine will give a seminar entitled « Algebraic reconstruction strategies for polarimetric phase retrieval » on Monday, January 29, 2024 at 02:00 p.m. in Room Pierre Cotton.
Abstract : Phase retrieval problems are ubiquitous in imaging applications, such as crystallography, coherent diffraction imaging or ptychography, among others. Motivated by recent advances in vectorial ptychography, we propose a novel phase retrieval model called polarimetric phase retrieval that leverages the physics of polarization measurement in optics.
In this talk, I will first detail the uniqueness properties of this new model by unraveling equivalencies with a peculiar polynomial factorization problem. The latter will turn out to play a critical role, both regarding uniqueness of the problem and the design of algebraic reconstruction methods based on approximate greatest common divisor computations. In particular, these algebraic approaches provide a cheap and, numerically efficient alternative to usual iterative algorithms. To conclude, I will outline how these strategies can be extended to perform image reconstruction in vectorial CDI.
