Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

This paper is centered on the use of generative adversarial networks (GANs) to convert or generate RGB images from grayscale ones. The primary goal is to create sensible and colorful versions of a set of grayscale images by training a discriminator to recognize failed or generated images and training a generator to attempt to satisfy the discriminator. The network design is described in further detail below; however there are several potential issues that arise including the averaging of a color for certain images such that small details in an image are not assigned unique colors leading to a neutral blend. We attempt to mitigate this issue as much as possible.

When creating computer vision applications, it is important to have a clear image of what is represented such that further processing has the best representation of the underlying data. A common factor that impacts image quality is blur, caused either by an intrinsic property of the camera lens or by introducing motion while the camera’s shutter is capturing an image. Possible solutions for reducing the impact of blur include cameras with faster shutter speeds or higher resolutions; however, both of these solutions require utilizing more expensive equipment, which is infeasible for instances where images are already captured. This thesis discusses an iterative solution for deblurring an image using an alternating minimization technique through regularization and PSF reconstruction. The alternating minimizer is then used to deblur a sample image of a pumpkin field to demonstrate its capabilities.
