Bayesian estimation in an image restoration problem in X-ray fiber diffraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The restoration of an incomplete image from a known part and experimental data in the form of the Fourier amplitude squared sums is formulated as a Bayesian estimation problem. This problem is motivated by the structure completion problem in x-ray fiber diffraction analysis. An appropriate prior of uniformly distributed impulses is used. The Bayesian MMSE and MAP estimates are obtained. Simulations are used to compare the performance of the estimates. The results show that the MMSE estimate significantly outperforms the other estimates. The restored images exhibit some bias towards the known part of the image. This can be partly reduced by an unbiasing procedure.

Image entropy as prior in Bayesian inference was applied to the restoration of X-ray digital images with additive zero mean Gaussian distributed noise. An iterative algorithm based on a conjugate gradient method with numerical evaluation of partial derivatives was developed to efficiently minimize the potential function associated to any positive, additive distribution. The correlation matrix o...

An image reconstruction problem motivated by X-ray fiber diffraction analysis is considered. The experimental data are sums of the squares of the amplitudes of particular sets of Fourier coefficients of the electron density, and a part of the electron density is known. The image reconstruction problem is to estimate the unknown part of the electron density, the "image." A Bayesian approach is t...

Abstract: Image restoration is a critical step in many vision applications. Due to the poor quality of Passive Millimeter Wave (PMMW) images, especially in marine and underwater environment, developing strong algorithms for the restoration of these images is of primary importance. In addition, little information about image degradation process, which is referred to as Point Spread Function (PSF...
