We investigate a Wiener fusion method to optimally combine multiple estimates for the problem of image deblurring given a known blur and a corpus of sharper training images. Nearest-neighbor estimation of high frequency information from training images is fused with a standard Wiener deconvolution estimate. Results show an improvement in sharpness and decreased artifacts compared to either the ...

Image denoising is the manipulation of the image data to produce a visually high quality image. At present there are a variety of methods to remove noise from digital images. There are different types of filters like mean filter, median filter, bilateral filter, wiener filter etc. to remove a single type of noise such as salt and pepper noise, speckle noise, Gaussian noise etc. But if the image...

Common motion compensated hybrid video coding standards such as H.263, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 are based on a fractional-pel displacement vector (DV) resolution of 1/2-pel. Recent approaches like MPEG-4 (ACE-profile) and H.26L use higher DV resolutions of 1/4-pel and 1/8-pel. In order to estimate and compensate fractional-pel displacements, the image signal has to be interpolated. Especially for...

The turbo equalizers (TEQ) proposed in literature utilize equalizers based on trellis, soft Wiener filters. The resulting complexity of these equalizers is exponential and cubic in terms of the sampled channel impulse response (CIR). The interference cancellation based decision feedback filter based equalizers requires adaptation of two filters simultaneously. In this paper, a low complexity eq...

In this paper, a new filtering method is presented to remove the Rician noise from magnetic resonance images (MRI) acquired using single coil MRI acquisition system. This filter is based on nonlocal neutrosophic set (NLNS) approach of Wiener filtering. A neutrosophic set (NS), a part of neutrosophy theory, studies the origin, nature, and scope of neutralities, as well as their interactions with...

Robust Implementations of the Multistage Wiener Filter By John David Hiemstra The research in this dissertation addresses reduced rank adaptive signal processing, with specific emphasis on the multistage Wiener filter (MWF). The MWF is a generalization of the classical Wiener filter that performs a stage-by-stage decomposition based on orthogonal projections. Truncation of this decomposition pr...

This work proposes a method of single-channel speaker separation that uses visual speech information to extract a target speaker’s speech from a mixture of speakers. The method requires a single audio input and visual features extracted from the mouth region of each speaker in the mixture. The visual information from speakers is used to create a visually-derived Wiener filter. The Wiener filter...
