Regularization schemes involving self-similarity in imaging inverse problems

چکیده
In this paper we introduce and analyze a set of regularization expressions based on self-similarity properties of images in order to address the classical inverse problem of image denoising and the ill-posed inverse problem of single-frame image zooming. The regularization expressions introduced are constructed using either the fractal image transform or the newly developed “Nonlocal-means (NL-means) image denoising filter” of Buades et al. (2005). We exploit these regularization terms in a global MAP-based formulation and produce analytical and computational solutions. Analytical comparisions are made with results based on classical methods (e.g., fractal-based denoising and zooming, and NL-means image denoising).

Inverse Problems and Self-similarity in Imaging
This thesis examines the concept of image self-similarity and provides solutions to various associated inverse problems such as resolution enhancement and missing fractal codes. In general, many real-world inverse problems are ill-posed, mainly because of the lack of existence of a unique solution. The procedure of providing acceptable unique solutions to such problems is known as regularizatio...
متن کاملLinear Algebra and Inverse Problems
Inverse problems arise in many important applications, including medical imaging, microscopy, geophysics, and astrophysics. Because they often involve large scale, extremely ill-conditioned linear systems, linear algebra problems associated with inverse problems are extremely challenging to solve, both mathematically and computationally. Solution schemes require enforcing regularization, using ...

In this paper ill-posed linear inverse problems that arises in many applications is considered. The instability of special kind of these problems and it's relation to the kernel, is described. For finding a stable solution to these problems we need some kind of regularization that is presented. The results have been applied for a singular equation.
متن کاملModel-resolution based regularization improves near infrared diffuse optical tomography.
Diffuse optical tomographic imaging is known to be an ill-posed problem, and a penalty/regularization term is used in image reconstruction (inverse problem) to overcome this limitation. Two schemes that are prevalent are spatially varying (exponential) and constant (standard) regularizations/penalties. A scheme that is also spatially varying but uses the model information is introduced based on...
