Abstract:This work addresses the problem of error concealment in video transmission systems over noisy channels employing Bregman divergences along with regularization. Error concealment intends to improve the effects of disturbances at the reception due to bit-errors or cell loss in packet networks. Bregman regularization gives accurate answers after just some iterations with fast convergence, better accuracy, and stability. This technique has an adaptive nature: the regularization functional is updated according to Bregman functions that change from iteration to iteration according to the nature of the neighborhood under study at iteration n. Numerical experiments show that high-quality regularization parameter estimates can be obtained. The convergence is sped up while turning the regularization parameter estimation less empiric, and more automatic.
Abstract:In this paper, a fresh procedure to handle image mixtures by means of blind signal separation relying on a combination of second order and higher order statistics techniques are introduced. The problem of blind signal separation is reassigned to the wavelet domain. The key idea behind this method is that the image mixture can be decomposed into the sum of uncorrelated and/or independent sub-bands using wavelet transform. Initially, the observed image is pre-whitened in the space domain. Afterwards, an initial separation matrix is estimated from the second order statistics de-correlation model in the wavelet domain. Later, this matrix will be used as an initial separation matrix for the higher order statistics stage in order to find the best separation matrix. The suggested algorithm was tested using natural images.Experiments have confirmed that the use of the proposed process provides promising outcomes in identifying an image from noisy mixtures of images.
