    摘要: A gradient-based image enhancement and restoration method and system which applies an orientation-isotropy adaptive filter to the gradients of high structured regions, and directly suppresses the gradients in the noise or texture regions. A new gradient field is obtained from which image reconstruction can progress using least mean squares. The method generally comprises: inputting image data; calculating image gradients; defining the gradients as having large or small coherence; filtering the large coherence gradients for edge enhancement; suppressing the small coherence gradients for noise reduction; assembling an enhanced gradient field from the filtered large coherence and suppressed small coherence gradients; and optimizing the assembled gradient field into a restored image.

    摘要: A method and system for improving image quality by compounding a plurality of images to mitigate the effects of image noise. The method utilizes the independency between noise components for multiple image compounding. An effective measurement is designed to regularize the independency between noise in a traditional generative model based filtering framework, thereby enabling a more robust algorithmic solution to inaccurate signal/noise modeling. The method generally comprises selecting a plurality of images, calculating the residual error on each image; calculating the noise likelihood of each image, calculating the signal likelihood of the image, performing an independence analysis to regularize an independence constraint between the residual errors of the images, and summing the signal likelihood, noise likelihood and pairwise independency to approximate the joint independency between the residual errors.

    摘要: A system and method for image reconstruction is disclosed. The method divides iterative image reconstruction into two stages, in the image and Radon space, respectively. In the first stage, filtered back projection and adaptive filtering in the image space are combined to generate a refined reconstructed image of a sinogram residue. This reconstructed image represents an update direction in the image space. In the second stage, the update direction is transformed to the Radon space, and a step size is determined to minimize a difference between the sinogram residue and a Radon transform of the refined reconstructed image of the sinogram residue in the Radon space. These stages are repeated iteratively until the solution converges.

    摘要: A method of designing hearing aid molds is disclosed whereby two shapes corresponding to graphical images of ear impressions are registered with each other to facilitate joint processing of the hearing aid design. In a first embodiment, a first graphical representation of a first ear impression is received and a feature, such as the aperture of the ear impression, is identified on that graphical model. A first vector is generated that represents the orientation and shape of that first feature. The three-dimensional translation and rotation of that first vector are determined that are necessary to align the first vector with a second vector representing the orientation and a shape of a feature, once again such as the aperture, of a second ear impression. In another embodiment, this alignment is then refined by minimizing the sum of the distances between points on the first and second graphical representations.
