Abstract

We consider the recovery of degraded videos without complete knowledge about the degradation. A spatially shift-invariant but temporally shift-varying video formation model is used. This leads to a simple multiframe degradation model that relates each original video frame with multiple observed frames and point spread functions (PSFs). We propose a variational method that simultaneously reconstructs each video frame and the associated PSFs from the corresponding observed frames. Total variation (TV) regularization is used on both the video frames and the PSFs to further reduce the ill-posedness and to better preserve edges. In order to make TV minimization practical for video sequences, we propose an efficient splitting method that generalizes some recent fast single-image TV minimization methods to the multiframe case. Both synthetic and real videos are used to show the performance of the proposed method. OCIS codes: 100.1455, 100.3020, 110.4155, 150.1135.

2. Subspace learning for Mumford–Shah-model-based texture segmentation through texture patches

Author

Law, Yan Nei, Lee, Hwee Kuan, and Yip, Andy M.

Abstract

In this paper, we develop a robust and effective algorithm for texture segmentation and feature selection. The approach is to incorporate a patch-based subspace learning technique into the subspace Mumford–Shah (SMS) model to make the minimization of the SMS model robust and accurate. The proposed method is fully unsupervised in that it removes the need to specify training data, which is required by existing methods for the same model. We further propose a novel (to our knowledge) pairwise dissimilarity measure for pixels. Its novelty lies in the use of the relevance scores of the features of each pixel to improve its discriminating power. Some superior results are obtained compared to existing unsupervised algorithms, which do not use a subspace approach. This confirms the usefulness of the subspace approach and the proposed unsupervised algorithm.
