We model the original image as Markov Random field and the blurred image as degraded version of the original MRF. We do not make any prior assumptions for the blur kernel and develop the proposed algorithm by taking into account the space varying nature of the blur kernel. We re-formulate the image deblurring problem problem in terms of learning the mapping between original-MRF (original image) and degraded-MRF (blurred image), which is generally nonlinear. Instead of learning parameters of proposed MRF, a simple three layer neural network with backpropagation algorithm is used to learn the desired nonlinear mapping. Results of the experimentation on real data are presented.","PeriodicalId":343718,"journal":{"name":"11th Symposium on Neural Network Applications in Electrical Engineering","volume":"509 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115893616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study we used the generalized Partial Directed Coherence (gPDC) to identify directed interactions between activated brain areas during self paced block fMRI paradigm for the identification of perisylvian language related brain areas.","PeriodicalId":343718,"journal":{"name":"11th Symposium on Neural Network Applications in Electrical Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124955749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we propose a probabilistic MCA model based on the Born rule. In off-line realization it can be seen as a successive optimization problem. In the on-line realization it will be solved by introduction of two different time scales. It will be shown that recently proposed time oriented hierarchical method, can be used as a concept for on-line realization of the proposed algorithms. The proposed model gives general framework for creating different MCA realizations/algorithms. A particular realization can optimize locality of calculation, convergence speed, preciseness or some other parameter of interest.","PeriodicalId":343718,"journal":{"name":"11th Symposium on Neural Network Applications in Electrical Engineering","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133895175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
