Surface Reconstruction: GNCs and MFA
نویسنده
چکیده
Noise-corrupted signals and images can be reconstructed by minimization of a Hamiltonian. Often this Hamiltonian is a non-convex functional. The solution of minimum energy can then be approximated by the Graduated Non-Convexity (GNC) algorithm developed for the weak membrane by Blake and Zisserman. The GNC approximates the non-convex functional by a convex functional, and varies the solution space slowly towards the non-convex functional. In this work, we propose a way of monitoring a functional-relaxation algorithm. Especially the dependency on initial estimates and the way of convergence is easily captured. Earlier work used Mean Field Annealing (MFA) to relax the Hamiltonian in the general case. It is often claimed that MFA leads to a GNC algorithm. It is shown that this is not necessarily the case, and especially not the case for earlier MF approximations of the weak membrane. In the case of the weak membrane, MFA might lead to predictable and inexpedient results. Two automatic and proven GNC-generating methods are presented. One is using a Gaussian ltering of the smoothness term and is called Smoothness Focusing (SF). The other is using a Gaussian ltering of the a priori distribution of the derivative in a Maximum A Posteriori estimation scheme, and is called Probability Focusing (PF). The algorithms are experimentally compared to the Blake-Zisserman GNC and shown competitive.

GMM-Based Missing-Feature Reconstruction on Multi-Frame Windows
Methods for missing-feature reconstruction substitute noisecorrupted features with clean-speech estimates calculated based on reliable information found in the noisy speech signal. Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based reconstruction has conventionally focussed on reliable information present in a single frame. In this work, GMM-based reconstruction is applied on windows that span several time fra...
متن کاملColoration phenomenon of mefenamic acid in mesoporous silica FSM-16.
Coloration of mefenamic acid (MFA) was investigated in the presence of mesoporous silica FSM-16 with 16.0 A (Oc) and 45.0 A (Doc) pore diameter. The color change of MFA/FSM-16 physical mixture from white to deep blue was observed by sealed-heating (SH) and the subsequent humidification (HU). The coloration and the color difference were caused by the changes of chroma and lightness. In the case ...
