Criminal defendants adjudicated incompetent to stand trial are typically hospitalized for competence restoration in state institutions. Prolonged restoration hospitalizations involve civil rights concerns and increasing financial costs, and there remains interest in determining which individuals are likely to be successfully restored. We retrospectively reviewed hospital records of 455 male def...

We study a variable exponent model for image restoration in the case that the exponent attains the critical value one. We prove existence and Γ-convergence. The results answer an open question by Li, Li and Pi [Variable exponent functionals in image restoration, Appl. Math. Comput. 216 (2010), no. 3, 870–882].

In this paper the subband decomposition of a single channel image restoration problem is examined. The decomposition will be carried out in the image model (prior model) in order to take into account the frequency activity of each band of the original image. The hyperparameters associated to each band together with the original image are rigurously estimated within the Bayesian framework. Final...

Perspective distortion always occurs while scanning thick, bound documents, resulting in two problems in the scanned grayscale image – (i) shade along the ‘spine’ of the book, and (ii) warping of words in the shade area. We proposed a restoration system to solve these two problems in our previous paper [1]. However the shape of the warped words was not fully restored, since we simply shifted an...

Temporal restoration of image sequences may fail because of erroneously estimated motion. Motion estimation failures may occur for several reasons: complicated motion, severe artefacts, or a combination of both. We present here an algorithm that tries to overcome at least the problems related to the severe artefacts. It consists of a spatial restoration, which is supposed to recover the general...
