However, some difficulties still remain. Based on the theory of visible and invisible boundary developed by Quinto et.al, we propose a reconstruction model for limited-angle CT, which encodes the visible edges as priors to recover the invisible ones. The new model utilizes generalized shrinkage operators as regularizers to perform edge-preserving smoothing such that the visible edges are employed as anchors to recover piecewise-constant or piecewise-smooth reconstructions, while noises and artifacts are suppressed or removed. This work extends our previous research on limited-angle reconstruction which employs gradient begin{document}$ ell_0 $end{document} and begin{document}$ ell_1 $end{document} norm regularizers. The effectiveness of the proposed model and its corresponding solving algorithm shall be verified by numerical experiments with simulated data as well as real data.","PeriodicalId":50274,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems and Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77647198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For classical neural networks, the initialization method by Xavier and Yoshua which is later generalized by He, Zhang, Ren and Sun can facilitate stable training. However, with the recent development of new layer types, we find that the above mentioned initialization methods may fail to lead to successful training. Based on these two methods, we will propose a new initialization by studying the parameter space of a network. Our principal is to put constrains on the growth of parameters in different layers in a consistent way. In order to do so, we introduce a norm to the parameter space and use this norm to measure the growth of parameters. Our new method is suitable for a wide range of layer types, especially for layers with parameter-sharing weight matrices.","PeriodicalId":50274,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems and Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89973276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aim of the proposed model is to formulate the decomposition of a color image such that the illumination component is uniform with only brightness information, and the reflectance component contains the color information. We establish the theoretical result about the existence of the solution of the proposed minimization problem. We employ a primal-dual algorithm to solve the proposed minimization problem.

Firstly, we construct a new self-similarity framework by regarding the low resolution (LR) images as the low rank version of corresponding high resolution (HR) images. Subsequently, nuclear norm minimization (NNM) is employed to generate LR image pyramids from HR ones. The structure of our framework is beneficial to extract LR features, where we regard the quotient image, calculated between HR image and LR image at the same layer, as LR feature. This LR feature has the same dimension as LR image; however the dimension of commonly used gradient feature is 4 times than LR image. On the other hand, we employ nonlocal similar patch, within the same scale and across different scales, to generate HR and LR dictionaries. In the course of encoding, codes are calculated from both row and column of LR dictionary for each LR patch; at the same time, both low rank and sparse constraints on codes matrix give us a hand to remove coding noises. Finally, both quantitative and perceptual results demonstrate that our proposed method has a good SR performance.","PeriodicalId":50274,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems and Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90804218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In EIT, electrical current is applied to the body, and the internal conductivity distribution is reconstructed based on subsequent voltage measurements. However, EIT images are known to often suffer from large systematic artifacts arising from various limitations and exacerbated by the ill-posedness of the inverse problem. The direct D-bar reconstruction method admits a nonlinear Fourier analysis of the EIT problem, providing the ability to process and filter reconstructions in the nonphysical frequency regime. In this work, a technique is introduced for automated Fourier-domain filtering of known systematic artifacts in 2D D-bar reconstructions. The new method is validated using three numerically simulated static thoracic datasets with induced artifacts, plus two experimental dynamic human ventilation datasets containing systematic artifacts. Application of the method is shown to significantly reduce the appearance of artifacts and improve the shape of the lung regions in all datasets.","PeriodicalId":50274,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems and Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89765697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
