Abstract: A method includes obtaining an input image that contains a particular representation of lens flare, and processing the input image by a machine learning model to generate a de-flared image that includes the input image with at least part of the particular representation of lens flare removed. The machine learning (ML) model may be trained by generating training images that combine respective baseline images with corresponding lens flare images. For each respective training image, a modified image may be determined by processing the respective training image by the ML model, and a loss value may be determined based on a loss function comparing the modified image to a corresponding baseline image used to generate the respective training image. Parameters of the ML model may be adjusted based on the loss value determined for each respective training image and the loss function.

The Li4Sr(BO3)2 nonlinear optical crystal has a second harmonic conversion efficiency at 1064 nm of about two times that of a KH2PO4 (KDP) crystal, and an UV absorption cut-off edge less than 190 nm. Furthermore, the crystal did not disintegrate. By flux method with Li2O, Li2O—B2O and Li2O—B2O3—LiF used as flux agent, large-size and transparent Li4Sr(BO3)2 nonlinear optical crystal can grow. The Li4Sr(BO3)2 crystal had stable physicochemical properties, moderate hardness, and was easy to cut, processing, preserve and use. Therefore it can be used for preparing nonlinear optical devices and thus for developing nonlinear optical applications in the ultraviolet and deep-ultraviolet band.
