ECE 458: Algorithmic Aspects of Computational Imaging

Role: Instructor
Institution: University of Rochester
Semester: Spring 2024

I designed and taught this graduate-level course, with support from my advisor, Prof. Mujdat Cetin. This course focuses on both mathematical and machine learning-based methods for computational imaging.

Course Topics Included:

  • Fundamentals of observation models
  • Analytical and algebraic reconstruction methods
  • Ill-posed inverse problems, variational modeling
  • Tikhonov regularization
  • Sparsity-promoting regularization, compressed sensing
  • Regularization parameter selection problem
  • Dictionary learning
  • Plug-and-Play Priors, Regularization by Denoising (RED)
  • Deep unrolling
  • Deep generative model-based Bayesian inversion methods
  • Bayesian neural network-based image reconstruction methods

Evaluation

Students were evaluated through 8 homework assignments and a comprehensive final project.
