Research Projects

MIRA develops multimodal imaging systems and image reconstruction algorithms spanning the complete imaging pipeline, from sensor acquisition and calibration to registration, restoration, fusion, and deployment. Particular emphasis is placed on spectral and hyperspectral imaging, multimodal sensor configurations, reconstruction under real acquisition conditions, and practical hybrid multi-camera systems.

RGB-Hyperspectral Registration and Fusion

Developing registration and fusion methods for RGB and hyperspectral cameras operating at different spatial resolutions. The research focuses on real cross-sensor misalignment, uncertainty in geometric alignment, and spectral-preserving super-resolution under imperfect registration.

Hyperspectral Imaging Registration Super-resolution Image Fusion

Spectral Image Restoration

Investigating restoration methods for hyperspectral imagery using spectral-domain models and transferable priors learned from conventional imagery. Current research includes denoising, model-based reconstruction, and learned priors for spectral inverse problems.

Image Restoration Denoising Deep Learning Inverse Problems

Multimodal/hybrid Spectral Acquisition

Designing reproducible multi-camera systems for synchronized multimodal acquisition, with emphasis on RGB, multispectral, and hyperspectral sensors. Research includes camera integration, acquisition software, and deployment on robotic and mobile platforms.

Multi-camera Systems Robotics Acquisition

Multi-sensor Calibration and Characterization

Studying the physical and radiometric properties of spectral imaging systems, including radiometric calibration, spectral response, noise and exposure characteristics, spatial degradation, and consistency across sensors.
