Variational posterior distribution approximation in Bayesian super resolution reconstruction of multispectral images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a super resolution Bayesian methodology for pansharpening of multispectral images. By following the hierarchical Bayesian framework, and by applying variational methods to approximate probability distributions this methodology is able to: (a) incorporate prior knowledge on the expected characteristics of the multispectral images, (b) use the sensor characteristics to model the observation process of both panchromatic and multispectral images, (c) include information on the unknown parameters in the model in the form of hyperprior distributions, and (d) estimate the parameters of the hyperprior distributions on the unknown parameters together with the unknown parameters, and the high resolution multispectral image. Using real data, the pansharpened multispectral images are compared with the images obtained by other pansharpening methods and their quality is assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Bayesian combination of sparse and non-sparse priors in image super resolution
In this paper the application of image prior combinations to the Bayesian Super Resolution (SR) image registration and reconstruction problem is studied. Two sparse image priors, a Total Variation (TV) prior and a prior based on the `1 norm of horizontal and vertical first order differences (f.o.d.), are combined with a non-sparse Simultaneous Auto Regressive (SAR) prior. Since, for a given obs...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Bayesian Super-Resolution Image Reconstruction from Low Resolution Rotated and Translated Images
This paper deals with the problem of high-resolution (HR) image reconstruction, from a set of degraded, under-sampled, shifted and rotated images, utilizing the variational approximation within the Bayesian paradigm. The proposed inference procedure requires the calculation of the covariance matrix of the HR image given the LR observations and the unknown hyperparameters of the probabilistic mo...
متن کاملBayesian Super-Resolution Image Reconstruction using an `1 prior
This paper deals with the problem of high-resolution (HR) image reconstruction, from a set of degraded, undersampled, shifted and rotated images, under the Bayesian paradigm, utilizing a variational approximation. Bayesian methods rely on image models that encapsulate prior image knowledge and avoid the ill-posedness of the image restoration problems. In this paper a new prior based on the `1 n...
متن کاملLarge Scale Bayesian Inference and Experimental Design for Sparse Linear Models
Many problems of low-level computer vision and image processing, such as denoising, deconvolution, tomographic reconstruction or superresolution, can be addressed by maximizing the posterior distribution of a sparse linear model (SLM). We show how higher-order Bayesian decision-making problems, such as optimizing image acquisition in magnetic resonance scanners, can be addressed by querying the...
متن کاملVariational posterior distribution approximation in bayesian emission tomography reconstruction using a gamma mixture prior
Following the Bayesian framework we propose a method to reconstruct emission tomography images which uses gamma mixture prior and variational methods to approximate the posterior distribution of the unknown parameters and image instead of estimating them by using the Evidence Analysis or alternating between the estimation of parameters and image (Iterated Conditional Mode (ICM)) approach. By an...
