Public 3 scenes

Full-access development tier with all data visible.

What you get & how to use

What you get: Measurements (y), ideal forward operator (H), spec ranges, ground truth (x_true), and true mismatch spec.

How to use: Load HDF5 → compare reconstruction vs x_true → check consistency → iterate.

What to submit: Reconstructed signals (x_hat) and corrected spec as HDF5.

Blind Reconstruction Challenge

Challenge

Given measurements with unknown mismatch and spec ranges (not exact params), reconstruct the original signal. A method must be evaluated on all three tiers for a complete score. Scored on a composite metric: 0.4 × PSNR_norm + 0.4 × SSIM + 0.2 × (1 − ‖y − Ĥx̂‖/‖y‖).

Input

Measurements y, ideal forward model H, spec ranges
