Efficient Computational Methods for Robust Multispectral Multiframe Superresolution

所提出的研究考虑多传感器，多帧超分辨率的计算模型。底层的数学模型是第一类Fredholm积分方程。 对于非线性分辨率问题，不仅输入数据被噪声污染，而且由于传感器对准的不确定性，定义线性算子的参数是不确定的。噪声输入使问题成为Tikhanov正则化最小二乘的候选者。算子中的不确定性使其成为正则化总最小二乘的候选者。此外，线性算子中的不确定性是结构化的，因此结构化的总体最小二乘模型是合适的。本项目考虑这些最小二乘和总体最小二乘模型以及适当的正则化方法。根据美国国家科学基金会的标准，这项活动的优点如下。将空变正则化方法应用于最近提出的最小二乘和总体最小二乘模型.将总体最小二乘算法和空变正则化方法应用于多传感器阵列图像的盲解卷积问题.将结构总体最小二乘算法扩展到红-绿色-蓝（RGB）彩色成像.小波超分辨算法在多传感器阵列中的应用，获得了低分辨率退化成像.超分辨率问题对军事、商业和医疗保健等不同学科的应用产生了影响，如生物工程、卫星成像、电子和计算机工程。其他有趣的可能性包括用更粗糙、更便宜的仪器取代昂贵的高分辨率仪器，如扫描电子显微镜，然后应用技术方法将分辨率提高到可以用更昂贵的设备导出的分辨率。除了在适当的期刊和会议上发表项目结果外，还将准备调查文章来提供我们计算方法的指导信息。PI和co-PI打算每年从宾夕法尼亚州立大学的大学学者计划中招募4名雷乌斯。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究生将与生产博士的期望合作。与该项目有关的论文。

The proposed research considers computational models for multisensor, multiframe superresolution.The underlying mathematical model is a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. For thesuperresolution problem, not only is the input data contaminated by noise, but the parameters defining the linear operator are uncertain because of uncertainty in sensor alignment. The noisy input makes the problem a candidate for Tikhanov regularized least squares. The uncertainty in the operator make it a candidate for regularized total least squares. Moreover, the uncertainty in the linear operator is structured, thus structured total least squares models are appropriate.This project considers these least squares and total least squares models and appropriate methods forregularizing them. The merits of this activity according to NSF criteria are given below.Intellectual Merit1.

The application of total least squares algorithms and space variant regularization to the solutionof blind deconvolution problems using images acquired by multisensor arrays.3.

The superresolution problem has impact upon military, commercial, and health careapplications in diverse disciplines such as bioengineering,satellite imaging, and electrical and computer engineering. Other intriguing possibilities include substituting expensive high resolution instruments such asscanning electron microscopes by their cruder, cheaper counterparts and then applying technical methods for increasing the resolution to that derivable with much more costly equipment.2. Survey articles will be prepared to provided tutorial information on our computational methods.This is in addition to publishing the project's results in appropriate refereed journals and conferences.3. The PI and co-PI intend to recruit 4 REUs per year from Penn State's University Scholars program.4. Penn State graduate students will be collaborators with the expectation of producing Ph.D. theses related to the project.
