Theoretically and experimentally we show the effectiveness of our algorithm.
mathematical model for image restoration based on fractional order total vari...IJAEMSJORNAL
This paper addresses mathematical model for signal restoration based on fractional order total variation (FOTV) for multiplicative noise. In alternating minimization algorithm the Newton method is coupled with time-marching scheme for the solutions of the corresponding PDEs related to the minimization of the denoising model. Results obtained from experiments show that our model can not only reduce the staircase effect of the restored images but also better improve the PSNR as compare to other existed methods.
The document discusses the Least-Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. It begins by introducing LMS as the first linear adaptive filtering algorithm developed by Widrow and Hoff in 1960. It then describes the filtering structure of LMS, modeling an unknown dynamic system using a linear neuron model and adjusting weights based on an error signal. Finally, it summarizes the LMS algorithm, outlines its virtues like computational simplicity and robustness, and notes its primary limitation is slow convergence for high-dimensional problems.
The document discusses various image transforms. It begins by explaining why transforms are used, such as for fast computation and obtaining conceptual insights. It then introduces image transforms as unitary matrices that represent images using a discrete set of basis images. It proceeds to describe one-dimensional orthogonal and unitary transforms using matrices. It also discusses separable two-dimensional transforms and provides properties of unitary transforms such as energy conservation. Specific transforms discussed in more detail include the discrete Fourier transform, discrete cosine transform, discrete sine transform, and Hadamard transform.
The document describes the optimal linear filter, known as the Wiener filter. The Wiener filter provides the minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimate of a signal given observations that are corrupted by noise. The Wiener filter coefficients are determined by solving the Wiener-Hopf equations, which result from minimizing the mean square error between the estimated and actual signals. For a finite impulse response (FIR) Wiener filter, this yields a set of linear equations involving the autocorrelation of the observations and the cross-correlation between the signal and observations. The Wiener filter provides the optimal linear estimation of the desired signal within the observed data.

An efficient approach to wavelet image Denoisingijcsit
This document proposes an efficient approach to wavelet image denoising based on minimizing mean squared error. It uses Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE), which provides an accurate estimate of mean squared error without needing the original noiseless image. The key idea is to express the thresholding function as a linear combination of thresholds, allowing the minimization problem to be solved via a simple linear system rather than a nonlinear optimization. Experimental results show the proposed method achieves superior image quality compared to other techniques like BayesShrink and VisuShrink.

These noise locations were then used to create versions of the noisy images suitable for reconstruction via Iterated Geometric Harmonics. The reconstructed images were then compared to the original to evaluate the performance of each technique.
Quantitative Propagation of Chaos for SGD in Wide Neural NetworksValentin De Bortoli

Robust Image Denoising in RKHS via Orthogonal Matching PursuitPantelis Bouboulis
We present a robust method for the image denoising task based on kernel ridge regression and sparse modeling. Added noise is assumed to consist of two parts. One part is impulse noise assumed to be sparse (outliers), while the other part is bounded noise. The noisy image is divided into small regions of interest, whose pixels are regarded as points of a two-dimensional surface. A kernel based ridge regression method, whose parameters are selected adaptively, is employed to fit the data, whereas the outliers are detected via the use of the increasingly popular orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. To this end, a new variant of the OMP rationale is employed that has the additional advantage to automatically terminate, when all outliers have been selected.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.

If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Photoacoustic tomography based on the application of virtual detectorsIAEME Publication
This document discusses using virtual detectors to improve photoacoustic tomography (PAT) image reconstruction when full scanning data is unavailable. It proposes interpolation and compressed sensing methods to generate virtual detector data and increase the number of measurements. Simulation results show applying these methods to preprocessed photoacoustic data significantly improves the peak signal-to-noise ratio of reconstructed images compared to direct reconstruction with limited detectors. Dictionary-based compressed sensing provides the best performance by learning an over-complete dictionary to sparsify signals. The methods allow better quality PAT imaging when hardware and spatial constraints limit actual detector positions and sampling angles.
Many algorithms have been developed to find sparse representation over redundant dictionaries or
transform. This paper presents a novel method on compressive sensing (CS)-based image compression
using sparse basis on CDF9/7 wavelet transform. The measurement matrix is applied to the three levels of
wavelet transform coefficients of the input image for compressive sampling. We have used three different
measurement matrix as Gaussian matrix, Bernoulli measurement matrix and random orthogonal matrix.
The orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) and Basis Pursuit (BP) are applied to reconstruct each level of
wavelet transform separately. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method given better
quality of compressed image than existing methods in terms of proposed image quality evaluation indexes
and other objective (PSNR/UIQI/SSIM) measurements.

ALEXANDER FRACTIONAL INTEGRAL FILTERING OF WAVELET COEFFICIENTS FOR IMAGE DEN...sipij
The present paper, proposes an efficient denoising algorithm which works well for images corrupted with
Gaussian and speckle noise. The denoising algorithm utilizes the alexander fractional integral filter which
works by the construction of fractional masks window computed using alexander polynomial. Prior to the
application of the designed filter, the corrupted image is decomposed using symlet wavelet from which only
the horizontal, vertical and diagonal components are denoised using the alexander integral filter.
Significant increase in the reconstruction quality was noticed when the approach was applied on the
wavelet decomposed image rather than applying it directly on the noisy image. Quantitatively the results
are evaluated using the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) which was 30.8059 on an average for images
corrupted with Gaussian noise and 36.52 for images corrupted with speckle noise, which clearly
outperforms the existing methods.
A Compressed Sensing Approach to Image Reconstructionijsrd.com
compressed sensing is a new technique that discards the Shannon Nyquist theorem for reconstructing a signal. It uses very few random measurements that were needed traditionally to recover any signal or image. The need of this technique comes from the fact that most of the information is provided by few of the signal coefficients, then why do we have to acquire all the data if it is thrown away without being used. A number of review articles and research papers have been published in this area. But with the increasing interest of practitioners in this emerging field it is mandatory to take a fresh look at this method and its implementations. The main aim of this paper is to review the compressive sensing theory and its applications.
Performance of MMSE Denoise Signal Using LS-MMSE TechniqueIJMER
This paper presents performance of mmse denoises signal using consistent cycle spinning
(ccs) and least square (LS) techniques. In the past decade, TV denoise technique is used to reduced the
noisy signal. The main drawback is the low quality signal and high MMSE signal. Presently, we
proposed the CCS-MMSE and LS-MMSE technique .The CCS-MMSE technique consists of two steps.
They are wavelet based denoise and consistent cycle spinning. The wavelet denoise is powerful
decorrelating effect on many signal domains. The consistent cycle spinning is used to estimation the
MMSE in the signal domain. The LS-MMSE is better estimation of MMSE signal domain compare to
CCS-MMSE.The experimental result shows the average MMSE reduction using various techniques.

The second project used principal component analysis to compute eigenfaces for face recognition. The third project performed linear discriminant analysis and tensor-based linear discriminant analysis for binary classification and visual object recognition. Illumination compensation subtracted an estimated illumination plane from image intensities to reduce shadows. Eigenfaces were the principal components of a training set of face images. Tensor-based linear discriminant analysis treated images as higher-order tensors to outperform conventional LDA.
The document discusses an algorithm called Adaptive Multichannel Component Analysis (AMMCA) for separating image sources from mixtures using adaptively learned dictionaries. It begins by reviewing image denoising using learned dictionaries, then extends this to image separation from single mixtures. The key contribution is applying this approach to separating sources from multichannel mixtures by learning local dictionaries for each source during the separation process. The algorithm is described and simulated results are shown separating two images from a noisy mixture using the learned dictionaries. In conclusion, AMMCA is able to separate sources without prior knowledge of their sparsity domains by fusing dictionary learning into the separation process.
Mixed Spectra for Stable Signals from Discrete Observationssipij
This paper concerns the continuous-time stable alpha symmetric processes which are inivitable in the
modeling of certain signals with indefinitely increasing variance. Particularly the case where the spectral
measurement is mixed: sum of a continuous measurement and a discrete measurement. Our goal is to
estimate the spectral density of the continuous part by observing the signal in a discrete way. For that, we
propose a method which consists in sampling the signal at periodic instants. We use Jackson's polynomial
kernel to build a periodogram which we then smooth by two spectral windows taking into account the
width of the interval where the spectral density is non-zero. Thus, we bypass the phenomenon of aliasing
often encountered in the case of estimation from discrete observations of a continuous time process.

MIXED SPECTRA FOR STABLE SIGNALS FROM DISCRETE OBSERVATIONSsipij
This paper proposes a method to estimate the spectral density of a continuous-time stable alpha symmetric process from discrete observations of the process. Specifically, it considers when the spectral measurement is a mixture of a continuous component and discrete jumps. It samples the process at periodic times to create a periodogram, which is shown to be an asymptotically unbiased but inconsistent estimator. The periodogram is then smoothed using two spectral windows to account for the bandwidth of the spectral density, providing a consistent estimator of the spectral density at the jump points.

Using Subspace Pursuit Algorithm to Improve Performance of the Distributed Co...Polytechnique Montreal
This paper applies a compressed algorithm to improve the spectrum sensing performance of cognitive radio technology.
At the fusion center, the recovery error in the analog to information converter (AIC) when reconstructing the
transmit signal from the received time-discrete signal causes degradation of the detection performance. Therefore, we
propose a subspace pursuit (SP) algorithm to reduce the recovery error and thereby enhance the detection performance.
In this study, we employ a wide-band, low SNR, distributed compressed sensing regime to analyze and evaluate the
proposed approach. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
Non-Blind Deblurring Using Partial Differential Equation MethodEditor IJCATR
This document presents a method for non-blind image deblurring using partial differential equations (PDEs). It introduces a PDE-based model to describe the blurring process caused by relative motion between the camera and object. The model is discretized using the Navier-Stokes equation, resulting in a PDE that can be used to deblur images. Algorithms are presented to deblur images blurred in the vertical and horizontal directions separately, as well as a combined algorithm to handle two-directional motion blur. Experimental results on blurred and noisy test images show the PDE method achieves better deblurring compared to other techniques like Wiener filtering, as measured by higher peak signal-to-noise ratio values
This document summarizes research on using particle swarm optimization to reconstruct microwave images of two-dimensional dielectric scatterers. It formulates the inverse scattering problem as an optimization problem to find the dielectric parameter distribution that minimizes the difference between measured and simulated scattered field data. Numerical results show that a particle swarm optimization approach can accurately reconstruct the shape and dielectric properties of a test cylindrical scatterer, with lower background reconstruction error than a genetic algorithm approach. The research demonstrates that particle swarm optimization is a suitable technique for high-dimensional microwave imaging problems.
The fourier transform for satellite image compressioncsandit
The document presents a new method for compressing satellite images using the Fourier transform and scalar quantization. The method involves taking the Fourier transform of the image, scalar quantizing the amplitude values, and encoding the results with run-length encoding and Huffman coding. Testing on satellite images and Lena showed compression ratios over 65% while maintaining good image quality after reconstruction.
Image Restitution Using Non-Locally Centralized Sparse Representation ModelIJERA Editor
Sparse representation models uses a linear combination of a few atoms selected from an over-completed
dictionary to code an image patch which have given good results in different image restitution applications. The
reconstruction of the original image is not so accurate using traditional models of sparse representation to solve
degradation problems which are blurring, noisy, and down-sampled. The goal of image restitution is to suppress
the sparse coding noise and to improve the image quality by using the concept of sparse representation. To
obtain a good sparse coding coefficients of the original image we exploit the image non-local self similarity and
then by centralizing the sparse coding coefficients of the observation image to those estimates. This non-locally
centralized sparse representation model outperforms standard sparse representation models in all aspects of
image restitution problems including de-noising, de-blurring, and super-resolution.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

ABSTRACT: A new technique for signal recovery and sampling is compressed sensing. It states that a sparse
signal has relatively small number of linear measurements and it contains most of its information and these
highly incomplete observations can exactly reconstruct that signal. The major challenge in practical
applications of compressed sensing consists in providing efficient, stable and fast recovery algorithms which, in
a few seconds evaluate a good approximation of compressible image from highly incomplete and noisy samples.
In this paper compressed sensing image recovery problem using adaptive nonlinear filtering strategies in an
iterative frame work and the resulting two-step iterative scheme convergence is proved. The several numerical
experiments conform that he corresponding algorithm possesses the required properties of efficiency, stability
and low computational cost and those of the state of the art algorithms are competitive to its performance.

I. INTRODUCTION
In most image reconstruction problems, the images are not directly observable. Instead, one observes
a transformed version of the image, possibly corrupted by noise. In the general case, the estimation of the image
can be regarded as a simultaneous de-convolution and de-noising problem. Intuitively, a better reconstruction
can be obtained by incorporating knowledge of the image into the reconstruction algorithm. The flows of data
(signals and images) around us are growing rapidly today. However, the number of salient features hidden in
massive data is usually much smaller than their sizes.
Hence data are compressible. In data processing, the traditional practice is to measure (sense) data in full length
and then compress the resulting measurements before storage or transmission. In such a scheme, recovery of
data is generally straight forward. This traditional data-acquisition process can be described as “full sensing plus
compressing”. Compressive sensing (CS), also known as compressed sensing or compressive sampling,
represents a paradigm shift in which the number of measurements is reduced during acquisition so that no
additional compression is necessary. The price to pay is that more sophisticated recovery procedures become
necessary. Compressed sensing is a new technique for recovery of the signal and sampling. It follows that
signals that have a sparse representation in a transform domain can be exactly recovered from these
measurements by solving an optimization problem which is represented as
Minimize a 1 , subject to PW
T
a = Pn (1)
a = Wu is coefficients vector of reconstruction u in that domain. Here P is an MXN matrix. Here M is very less
than N. this matrix is necessary to possess restricted isometric property, n belongs to IR
N is the unknown
signal, that is W belongs to IR
N# N
orthogonal matrix of k-sparse transform domain. To obtain perfect recovery
the number M of given measurements depends upon the N, k, P . K is orthogonal signal, P is acquisition matrix.
If unknown signal n has sparse gradient, it can be recovered by problem (1) as
min
u
Vu 1 subject to PW
T
a = Pn (2)
Image recovery problem is suited for this formulation. Since many images can be modeled as piece-wise-
smooth functions containing a substantial number of discontinuities. In real problems no need of exact
measurements, so if the measurements are corrupted with random noise, namely we have
Y= P x + e (3)

Sparse signals are an idealization that we rarely encounter in applications, but real signals are quite often
compressible with respect to an orthogonal basis. This means that, if expressed in that basis, their coefficients
exhibit exponential decay when stored by magnitude. As a consequence, compressible signals are well
approximated by K –sparse signals and compressed sensing paradigm guarantees that from M linear
measurements we can obtain a reconstruction with an error comparable to that of the best possible K –terms
approximation within the scarifying basis
II. RECONSTRUCTION APPROACH
We set here our notation and state the results we will use in the following. Let S belongs to
R(N1XN2) be a randomly generated binary mask, such that the point-to-point product with any v belongs to
R(N1XN2) , denoted by S x v , represents a random selection of the elements of v, namely, we have
vs = S. v With vS ij =

Let T be an orthogonal transform acting on an image X We denote by
T Sn = S $ Tn

The randomly sub sampled orthogonal transform of.
Then the input data can be represented as

The convergence of the penalization method to the solution of the original constrained problem has been
established (under very mild conditions). Unfortunately, in general, using very small penalization parameter
values makes the unconstrained sub problems very ill-conditioned and difficult to solve. In the present context,
we do not have this limitation, since we will approach these problems implicitly, thus, avoiding the need to deal
with ill-conditioned linear systems.
The corresponding bound constrained two-step iterative algorithm is the following:
u n+ 1 = argmin u! C{ F(u) +

} .
u n = u n + YT S

III. RECONSTRUCTION ALGORITHM
The proposed penalized splitting approach corresponds to an algorithm whose structure is
characterized by two-level iteration. The general scheme of the bound constrained algorithm is following.
Algorithm NFCS-2D:
Step A-0: initialization
Given F .

Set k = 0, u0,0 = 0 and X0,0 = X0.
Step A-1: start with the outer iteration
While (Xk,0 > Xmin and T Suk,0 - y 2 > Toll)
Step B-0: Start with the inner iterations
i = 0;
Step B-1:

Convergence test:
if F(u k,i +1) - F(u k,i) / F(u k,i +1) $ ZX k,i
i = i + 1
mk,i = mk,i - 1 go to step B-1
Otherwise go to step A-2.
Step A-2: Outer Iteration Updating
k = k + 1
X k,0 = r.X k- i,i
uk,0 = uk- 1,i +1
endwhile
Terminate with uk,0 as an approximation of x
Remark: The automatic stopping criterion of the outer loop depends upon which problem we are
considering. If we want to recover an exactly sparse gradient image from noisy-free acquisitions the parameter
Toll can be set to 0, and with X (min) of the order of the machine precision, we should obtain a numerically
exact reconstruction. On the other hand, if we deal with compressible images or noisy data the stopping rule is
governed by Toll.
Inducing norm F (.) can be chosen according to the characteristics of the reconstruction problem. In
several nonlinear 1-D filters have been widely experimented for different compressed sensing signal
reconstruction problems, and their capabilities and efficiency have been analyzed. In this context, we are mainly
concerned with the image reconstruction problem and, since many real images can be well approximated with
sparse gradient signals, we have only considered the choice, namely the case in which F (.) represents the total
variation of the image.

IV. NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS
Several numerical experiments reported as the effectiveness of the proposed image reconstruction
algorithm that highlights its reconstruction capabilities, stability and speed. This choice is motivated by the need
to give an objective quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by using
reconstructed image quality.

Reconstructed images visual inspection is not really enough to compare the performance of different
reconstruction algorithms.

Where R > 0 is the maximum value of the image gray level range and
By using eight neighbour pixels we have used both unisotropic and isotropic descrete approximations of the
total variation depicted in fig.1. the PSNR values that we give in different experiments refet to the first
minimum energy reconstruction.
Since we have experimentally seen that it is not important to find a very accurate solution of the
variation problem, for all the experiments we have fixed to four the number of iterations of the isotropic
estimate yielded by the digital total variation filter. This choice represents a good compromise between accuracy
and efficiency.

All the experiments are performed using sub sampled frequency acquisitions, but, in order to
demonstrate the capabilities of our nonlinear filtering method, we have tested it using four different acquisition
strategies corresponding to the masks given in Fig. 1. More precisely, mask I is evaluated using the free
software Sparse, mask II is a classic 60 ray mask, mask III is obtained as a tensor product of two 1-D-Gaussian
masks ,and mask IV is generated as 2-D normally distributed random points. The term nonlinear approximation
error relative to the Haar basis and evaluated using the reconstructions obtained using the isotropic TV estimates
are shown in Fig.2. In the last series of experiments we applied our nonlinear filtering strategy to recover the
256x256 Head image.
V. RECONSRRUCTION OF AN IMAGE RESULTS
Reconstruction of head image using nonlinear filtering is more efficient. Here we are using a head
image and applying the randomly generated binary mask to that image, then the noisy image represented which
is shown in the fig.3. By using NFCS-2D we will get the reconstructed image which is same as the original
image. Here we are using some parameters in proposed algorithm. The first parameter is the starting value of the
penalization parameter X. the reducing rate of X is r. the value of r is belonging to the interval [0.25- 0.8]. in
practical, we have used a small value r = 0.25 for noise free sparse gradient case, and r = 0.4 or r = 0.8 for other
cases. The second parameter is toll, used to stop the algorithm both for compressible images and clean data and
for all cases of noisy data. When the data is noisy the noise level E is known, the possible choice of toll could be
toll = E. since the value of E often overestimates the error norm, we have used a more flexible stopping
criterion, setting toll= f.E, with f= [0.4, 1]. The choice of f=1 would stop the algorithm too early without
exploiting its de-noising capabilities. The thord parameter is Z, which represents a mean for tuning the precision
request in the inner iterations. A higher precision is responsible for an increase in the computing time, but can
produce a more accurate reconstruction. So, in the attempt to find a good compromise between speed and
reconstruction quality, we have used values of Z for sparse gradient images and exact data smaller than for
compressible images and noisy data, that is Z=0.05 or Z= 1,respectively. Regarding the choice of the parameter Y
we have always set Y= 1, even if a suitable greater value could be used to speed up the convergence of the
algorithm.

VI. CONCLUSION
We have proposed an efficient iterative algorithm for the solution of the compressed sensing
reconstruction problem, based upon a penalized splitting approach and an adaptive nonlinear filtering strategy
and its convergence property has been established. We remark that, even if we have analyzed the sparse gradient

case with under sampled frequency acquisitions, our approach is completely general, and works for different
kinds of measurements and different choices of the function. The capabilities, in terms of accuracy, stability,
and speed of NFCS-2D, are illustrated by the results of several numerical experiments and comparisons with a
state of the art algorithm. In fact, since this function plays the role of the penalty function in the variation
approach of the image de-noising problem, It is possible to exploit the different proposals of the de-noising
literature in order to select new filtering strategies, perhaps more suited to the different practical recovery
problems.
Examples of the use of other filtering strategies, even if considered in a different context. A lot of
work remains to be done. In particular, a much more detailed theoretical study is necessary to find an objective
automated way of selecting good values for the free parameters of the algorithm. At present, as far as we know,
no similar analysis has been performed, even for the best state of the art algorithms.
