Discontinuous Galerkin Neural Operator for Pathology Defocus Deblurring

arXiv:2605.23282v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Defocus deblurring in pathological microscopy remains challenging due to the spatially varying and locally discontinuous nature of optical blur induced by a position-dependent integral imaging process. Existing deep learning methods, constrained by shift-invariance assumptions and limited interpretability, are not well suited to such heterogeneous blur patterns. Neural operators provide a principled alternative by modeling defocus formation directly as an integral operator, offering a new perspective on defocus deblurring. However, most existin
