Biography
Mazen Mel is a PhD student in the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Padova. He received a First Cycle degree in Physics and Technology in 2016 and an Engineering degree in Telecommunications in 2019 from The Higher School of Communications of Tunis (Sup’Com) in Tunisia and a master’s degree in ICT in 2021 from the University of Padova. His research activities are about computational imaging/photography and computer vision, in particular hyper-spectral imaging, depth of field extention (EDoF), and monocular depth estimation. He works in collaboration with Sony Europe B.V. Stuttgart technology center.
Research areas
Snapshot Spectral Sensing
Different from scanning-based imaging spectrometers, snapshot systems offer greater flexibility and can capture full spectrum of still as well as dynamic scenes in a single coded 2D measurement achieved by multiplexing spatial and spectral information using a com- bination of lenses, dispersive elements, and coded aperture masks.
Monocular Depth Estimation
Currently working on physics-aware depth estimation solutions that rely on depth-dependent optical aberrations introduced by the imaging system as reliable depth cues.
Extended Depth of Field (EDoF)
The aim is to extend the depth range where objects appear relatively in-focus, special optics and computational approaches are combined together to perform such task.
