چکیده

In this work, we propose a continuous-domain stochastic model that can be applied to image data. This model is autoregressive, and accounts for Gaussian-type as well as for non-Gaussian-type innovations. In order to estimate the corresponding parameters from the data, we introduce two possible error criteria; namely, Gaussian maximum-likelihood, and least-squares autocorrelation fit. Exploiting the link between autoregressive models and spline approximation, we use our approach to adapt interpolation parameters to a given image. Our numerical results demonstrate that our adaptive approach yields higher SNR values compared to classical polynomial splines for the task of image scaling. They also indicate that our least-squares-based error criterion nearly achieves the oracle performance for parameter estimation, which provides further support to the practical relevance of our model.

An Adaptive Hierarchical Method Based on Wavelet and Adaptive Filtering for MRI Denoising

MRI is one of the most powerful techniques to study the internal structure of the body. MRI image quality is affected by various noises. Noises in MRI are usually thermal and mainly due to the motion of charged particles in the coil. Noise in MRI images also cause a limitation in the study of visual images as well as computer analysis of the images. In this paper, first, it is proved that proba...

Market Adaptive Control Function Optimization in Continuous Cover Forest Management

Economically optimal management of a continuous cover forest is considered here. Initially, there is a large number of trees of different sizes and the forest may contain several species. We want to optimize the harvest decisions over time, using continuous cover forestry, which is denoted by CCF. We maximize our objective function, the expected present value, with consideration of stochastic p...

Biomedical image interpolation based on multi-resolution transformations

We present a novel feature-based image interpolation approach. Two continuous maps for the image domain are constructed via an L-gradient flow based on their multi-resolution representations so that the features of the given images are matched at multiple scales. The flow equation is efficiently solved using a finite element method in the bicubic B-spline vector-valued function space. The inter...

Stochastic Dynamic Programming with Markov Chains for Optimal Sustainable Control of the Forest Sector with Continuous Cover Forestry

We present a stochastic dynamic programming approach with Markov chains for optimal control of the forest sector. The forest is managed via continuous cover forestry and the complete system is sustainable. Forest industry production, logistic solutions and harvest levels are optimized based on the sequentially revealed states of the markets. Adaptive full system optimization is necessary for co...

Statistical Wavelet-based Image Denoising using Scale Mixture of Normal Distributions with Adaptive Parameter Estimation

Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...
