Wiener Channel Smoothing: Robust Wiener Filtering of Images
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we combine the well-established technique of Wiener filtering with an efficient method for robust smoothing: channel smoothing. The main parameters to choose in channel smoothing are the number of channels and the averaging filter. Whereas the number of channels has a natural lower bound given by the noise level and should for the sake of speed be as small as possible, the averaging filter is a less obvious choice. Based on the linear behavior of channel smoothing for inlier noise, we derive a Wiener filter applicable for averaging the channels of an image. We show in some experiments that our method compares favorable with established methods.

Wiener Filtering of Meshes
This work investigates smoothing, fairing, or, more generally, filtering of mesh geometry. The approach transfers the ideas of optimal (Wiener) filtering to the setting of meshes. It extends fairing approaches that use only first order neighborhoods and allows to assume arbitrary local spectral properties of the mesh geometry. The definition of the local autocorrelation allows the design of fil...
متن کاملTracking of time-varying mobile radio channels .1. The Wiener LMS algorithm
Adaptation algorithms with constant gains are designed for tracking smoothly time-varying parameters of linear regression models, in particular channel models occurring in mobile radio communications. In a companion paper, an application to channel tracking in the IS-136 TDMA system is discussed. The proposed algorithms are based on two key concepts. First, the design is transformed into a Wien...

متن کاملCT scout z-resolution improvement with image restoration methods
Currently, new applications demand utilizing CT scout images for diagnostic purposes. However, many CT scout images cannot be used diagnostically due to their poor resolution, particularly in the direction of table movement. Spatial resolution generally can be improved with image restoration techniques. Based on the principles of Wiener filtering and inverse filtering, this paper presents a mod...
متن کاملWiener spiking deconvolution and minimum-phase wavelets: A tutorial
while working on the problem of enemy missile fire prediction at MIT during World War II, Norbert Wiener developed a statistical process which separated radar signals from noise. The process was originally known as smoothing or Wiener prediction filtering. The inverse process of unsmoothing, or prediction error filtering, was called decomposition and was later termed deconvolution. Today, predi...
