Abstract
Image processing techniques find applications in many areas, chief among which are image enhancement, pattern recognition, and efficient picture coding. Some aspects of image processing are discussed--specifically: the mathematical operations one is likely to encounter, and ways of implementing them by optics and on digital computers; image description; and image quality evaluation. Many old results are reviewed, some new ones presented, and several open questions are posed.

A Bayesian hierarchical model for learning natural scene categories

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel approach to learn and recognize natural scene categories by representing the image of a scene by a collection of local regions, denoted as codewords obtained by unsupervised learning.

On single image scale-up using sparse-representations

TL;DR: This paper deals with the single image scale-up problem using sparse-representation modeling, and assumes a local Sparse-Land model on image patches, serving as regularization, to recover an original image from its blurred and down-scaled noisy version.

Molecular, Structural, and Functional Characterization of Alzheimer's Disease: Evidence for a Relationship between Default Activity, Amyloid, and Memory

TL;DR: One possibility is that lifetime cerebral metabolism associated with regionally specific default activity predisposes cortical regions to AD-related changes, including amyloid deposition, metabolic disruption, and atrophy, which may be part of a network with the medial temporal lobe whose disruption contributes to memory impairment.

A discrete state-space model for linear image processing

TL;DR: In this paper, the linear time-discrete state-space model is generalized from single-dimensional time to two-dimensional space, which includes extending certain basic known concepts from one to two dimensions, such as the general response formula, state transition matrix, Cayley-Hamilton theorem, observability, and controllability.

The X-tree: an index structure for high-dimensional data

TL;DR: A new organization of the directory is introduced which uses a split algorithm minimizing overlap and additionally utilizes the concept of supernodes to keep the directory as hierarchical as possible, and at the same time to avoid splits in the directory that would result in high overlap.

An algorithm for the machine calculation of complex Fourier series

TL;DR: Good generalized these methods and gave elegant algorithms for which one class of applications is the calculation of Fourier series, applicable to certain problems in which one must multiply an N-vector by an N X N matrix which can be factored into m sparse matrices.

Signal detection by complex spatial filtering

TL;DR: The experimental results obtained to date indicate that this technique provides an excellent two-dimensional filtering capability that will play a key role in such problems as shape recognition and signal detection.

Optical Resolution Through a Randomly Inhomogeneous Medium for Very Long and Very Short Exposures

TL;DR: In this article, the average resolution of very-long and very-short-exposure images is studied in terms of the phase and log-amplitude structure functions, whose sum is called the wave-structure function.

Reconstruction of Three Dimensional Structures from Electron Micrographs

TL;DR: General principles are formulated for the objective reconstruction of a three dimensional object from a set of electron microscope images and applied to the calculation of aThree dimensional density map of the tail of bacteriophage T4.
