Introducing Ill-Structured Problems in Introductory Physics Recitations

One important aspect of physics instruction is helping students develop better problem solving expertise. Besides enhancing the content knowledge, problems help students develop different cognitive abilities and skills. This paper focuses on ill-structured problems. These problems are different from traditional “end of chapter” well-structured problems. They do not have one right answer and thu...

Introducing More Physics into Variational Depth-from-Defocus

Given an image stack that captures a static scene with different focus settings, variational depth–from–defocus methods aim at jointly estimating the underlying depth map and the sharp image. We show how one can improve existing approaches by incorporating important physical properties. Most formulations are based on an image formation model (forward operator) that explains the varying amount o...
