TL;DR: It is shown that the GGSM model can lead to improved performance in distortion-related applications, while providing a more principled approach to the statistical processing of distorted image signals.

TL;DR: This paper defines and compares some novel techniques for the robust detection of sustained image irradiance changes, or edges, in images immersed in multiplicative Weibull noise, and suggests that edge detection using ratios of single order statistics (ROS detector) offers the best compromise among computational convenience, edge localization and robust performance.

TL;DR: The spatiotemporal statistic of a wide variety of natural videos is studied, new directional temporal statistical models of videos are constructed, and whether measures of directional spatio-temporal naturalness can be developed that are predictive of quality are studied.

TL;DR: An algorithm for enhancement of spicules ofSpiculated masses, which uses the discrete radon transform, is developed and it is found that most observers preferred the enhanced images generated with the fast slant stack (FSS) method.

TL;DR: The empirical data taken in conjunction with the formal analytical results suggest that GDA enjoys significant performance advantages relative to current methods for combinatorial optimization.
