Approximation and Optimization in Image Restoration and Reconstruction

چکیده
Traditional wavelets have a number of vanishing moments that corresponds to their equivalent order of the derivation. They offer good energy compaction for piecewise smooth signals, but are less appropriate for more complex signals such as those originating in functional imaging ; e.g., the hemodynamic response after brain activation in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and time activity curves (TACs) in positron emission tomography (PET). The framework of exponential-spline wavelets [1] allows us to design new wavelet bases that act like a given differential operator ; i.e., they can be tuned to the characteristics of a system and yield a sparse representation of some corresponding class of signals. We show two examples. For fMRI, the wavelets are tuned according to the hemodynamic response of the system. The combination with a l1-regularization constraint reveals brain activation patterns without the knowledge of a stimulation paradigm [2]. For dynamic PET, the wavelets are tailored to the compartmental description of the dynamics of the tracer distribution. The l1-regularization constraint can then be incorporated in the tomographic reconstruction process [3].

Image Restoration by Variable Splitting based on Total Variant Regularizer
The aim of image restoration is to obtain a higher quality desired image from a degraded image. In this strategy, an image inpainting method fills the degraded or lost area of the image by appropriate information. This is performed in such a way so that the obtained image is undistinguishable for a casual person who is unfamiliar with the original image. In this paper, different images are degr...
متن کاملRestoration of blurred star field images by maximally sparse optimization
The problem of removing blur from, or sharpening, astronomical star field intensity images is discussed. An approach to image restoration that recovers image detail using a constrained optimization theoretic approach is introduced. Ideal star images may be modeled as a few point sources in a uniform background. It is argued that a direct measure of image sparseness is the appropriate optimizati...

Iteratively Re-weighted Least Squares minimization (IRLS) appears for the first time in the approximation practice in the Ph.D. thesis of C. L. Lawson in 1961 for L∞ minimization. In the 1970s extensions of Lawson’s algorithm for `p-minimization were proposed, as reported in the work of M. R. Osborne. IRLS has been proposed for sparse recovery in signal processing in [5] and for total variation...

We will present a convex representation for the minimal partition problem, based on the notion of “paired calibrations” [2], [3]. We propose an efficient algorithm for minimizing this problem, and discuss the practical implementation with “many” labels. It can be applied to a number of problems, from segmentation to stereo reconstruction. The quality of the results is substantially better than ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a biomedical imaging technique that allows for the visualization and the measurement of biological processes. PET is based on the injection to the patient of a molecular probe for the process of interest. The probe is labeled with radio-isotopes that decay by emitting a positron. The emitted positron annihilates almost immediately with an electron, resultin...
