An improved multi-channel blind image restoration algorithm based on sub-space and constrained least square （CLS） is presented and applied to UWB radar system to deal with this issue. The high resolution of radar image is equivalent to multi-channel blind image restoration based on the improved model of the through-wall radar echo. And a new cost function is proposed to the multi-channel blind image restoration by considering the concept of sub-space as the limitation of blur identification. The proposed algorithm has all advantages of CLS and sub-space, and converts the image estimation to alternating-minimizing the two cost functions. Experimental results prove that the proposed algorithm is effective at improving the resolution of radar image even at low SNR.展开更多

First, ATVR is introduced into the cost function of NAS-RIF to improve the noise robustness and retain the details in the image.Since the split Bregman iterative is used to optimize the ATVR based cost function, the ATVR based NAS-RIF blind restoration method is then constructed. Furthermore, combined with the geometric nonlinear diffusion filter and the Poisson-distribution-based minimum error thresholding, the ATVR based NAS-RIF blind restoration method is used to realize the blind OCT image restoration. The experimental results demonstrate that the ATVR based NAS-RIF blind restoration method can successfully retain the details in the OCT images. In addition, the signal-to-noise ratio of the blind restored OCT images can be improved, along with the noise robustness.展开更多

In this paper, multichannel blind CT image restoration is proposed to overcome the effect of point spread function. The main advantage from multichannel blind CT image restoration is to exploit the diversity and redundancy of information in different acquisitions. The proposed approach is based on a variable splitting to obtain an equivalent constrained optimization formulation, which is addressed with the alternating direction method of multipliers and simply implemented in the Fourier domain. Numerical experiments illustrate that our method obtains a higher average gain value of at least 1.21 d B in terms of Q metric than the other methods, and it requires only 7 iterations of alternating minimization to obtain a fast convergence.展开更多
