Objective Quality Assessment and Optimization for High Dynamic Range Image Tone Mapping
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-06)Tone mapping operators aim to compress high dynamic range (HDR) images to low dynamic range ones so as to visualize HDR images on standard displays. Most existing works were demonstrated on specific examples without being ... -
Preprocessing and Reduction for Semidefinite Programming via Facial Reduction: Theory and Practice
(University of Waterloo, 2013-11-26)Semidefinite programming is a powerful modeling tool for a wide range of optimization and feasibility problems. Its prevalent use in practice relies on the fact that a (nearly) optimal solution of a semidefinite program ... -
Techniques for Improving Numerical Secret Key Rates of Quantum Key Distribution Protocols
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-24)Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a method for producing secure keys between two parties whose security does not rely on computational assumptions potentially breakable by quantum computers. However, physical constraints, ...
