Abstract

En 中文
Deploying 3D single-photon Lidar imaging in real world applications presents multiple challenges including imaging in high noise environments. Several algorithms have been proposed to address these issues based on statistical or learning-based frameworks. Statistical methods provide rich information about the inferred parameters but are limited by the assumed model correlation structures, while deep learning methods show state-of-the-art performance but limited inference guarantees, preventing their extended use in critical applications. This paper unrolls a statistical Bayesian algorithm into a new deep learning architecture for robust image reconstruction from single-photon Lidar data, i.e. the algorithm's iterative steps are converted into neural network layers. The resulting algorithm benefits from the advantages of both statistical and learning based frameworks, providing best estimates with improved network interpretability. Compared to existing learning-based solutions, the proposed architecture requires a reduced number of trainable parameters, is more robust to noise and mismodelling of the system impulse response function, and provides richer information about the estimates including uncertainty measures. Results on synthetic and real data show competitive results regarding the quality of the inference and computational complexity when compared to state-of-the-art algorithms.
