摘要:
Described here are systems and methods for estimating phase measurements obtained using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system such that phase ambiguities in the measurements are significantly mitigated. Echo time spacings are determined by optimizing phase ambiguity functions associated with the echo time spacings. Data is then acquired using a multi-echo pulse sequence that utilizes the determined echo spacings. Phase measurements are then estimated and images are reconstructed using a reconstruction technique that disambiguates the phase ambiguities in the phase measurements.

A method for constructing an image includes acquiring image data in a first domain. The acquired image data is transformed from the first domain into a second domain in which the acquired image data exhibits a high degree of sparsity. An initial set of transform coefficients is approximated for transforming the image data from the second domain into a third domain in which the image may be displayed. The approximated initial set of transform coefficients is updated based on a weighing of where substantial transform coefficients are likely to be located relative to the initial set of transform coefficients. An image is constructed in the third domain based on the updated set of transform coefficients. The constructed image is displayed.

The present invention provides a method for decoding corrupt codestreams for encoded digital imagery and video and, in particular, JPEG2000 codestreams with improved error resilience properties. The decoding techniques apply to a class of coding algorithms in which the data from underlying images are partitioned, typically to allow decoding of different spatial sections of the image, and the rules governing the dependencies within and perhaps between partitioned sets are known. Corrupt codestreams are decoded with improved image quality by observing the partitions imposed by the underlying algorithm (200), detecting an error in a partition set (202), analyzing the dependencies within and perhaps between the partitions (204), determining what sections of encoded data that follow the error in the partition set can be salvaged (206), and decoding those sections (208). Even though there might be errors in a particular partition, portions of that partition might still be completely or partially decodable, depending on certain modes or “switches” used during the creation of the codestream.

A method for reconstructing a digital image from a set of measurements includes providing a previous image frame in a time series of measurements of an image signal and a current image frame in the time series, calculating an estimated motion vector for a spatial point and current time point between the previous and current image frames, calculating a motion compensated current image frame from the previous image frame, estimating a known support set of a sparse signal estimate of the motion compensated current image frame where the support set comprises indices of non-zero elements of the sparse signal estimate, calculating a sparse signal corresponding to the current image frame whose support contains a smallest number of new additions to the known support set while satisfying a data consistency constraint, and correcting the motion compensated current image frame image frame from the sparse signal.
