The Devil is in the Details: Example-based Image Restoration

▼ In our modern digital age, camera-equipped gadgets
such as smart-phones and tablet devices let people capture and
share increasing amounts of digital
image data. However, we often
find our daily snapshots plagued by various forms undesirable
features such as blur, low resolution and sensor noise. Undoing
such artifacts is typically ill-posed and involves filling in
missing
image details. But how can we get more from less? How can
we go beyond the limits of what can be unambiguously restored?
Fortunately, the vast digital imagery available on the Internet
provides a dense sampling of our visual world through time and
scale, and ushers in fundamental changes in the way we approach
these problems. In this dissertation, we develop data-driven
example-based
image restoration methods in the context of
super-resolution and deblurring. Recent advancements in modern
methods have been very successful at restoring salient
image
structures and edges, but fall short in terms of recovering details
in the highest spatial frequency bands. Furthermore, much of these
details are beyond the recoverable limits given a single degraded
image. Motivated by this observation, this dissertation places
special emphasis on exploring methods and representations that are
capable of hallucinating and synthesizing novel
image details in an
image restoration framework. First, we investigate how to remove
motion blur from photos due to camera shake. We present patch-based
image priors specifically tailored towards modeling
image edges and
show its superior performance compared to current leading methods
in blind deblurring. We further compare generic vs specific
image
priors for non-blind deblurring, and investigate their ability to
insert
image details given example images of varying levels of
similarity. Second, we examine how big-data can benefit
super-resolution systems and show improved ability to hallucinate
image details. By moving the
image representation from intensity
domain to a highly expressive feature space within a Convolutional
Neural Network, combined with a sparse
image correspondence to
better guide synthesis of local
image content, we show how
convincing
image details can be hallucinated far beyond
capabilities of existing methods from
super-resolution.

▼ Deconvolution and sparse representation are the two key areas in image and signal processing. In this thesis the classical image restoration problem is addressed using these two modalities. Image restoration, such as deblurring, dnoising, and in-painting belongs to the class of ill-posed linear inverse problems, which requires a proper regularization for a credible solution. The aim is to develop techniques that are stable, practical and require a minimum amount of prior knowledge. The two main approaches that we focused upon in this thesis are image deconvolution for blurred image restoration and dictionary learning algorithms for sparse image denoising and in-painting. In the first approach, iterative least square and maximum likelihood based deconvolution methods, are derived for image deblurring application. Three novel methods are presented i) a hybrid Fourier-wavelet deblurring (HFW) method based on expectation maximization (EM) approach, ii) sparse non-negative matrix approximation (SNMA), and iii) Kullback-Leibler divergence minimization (KLD). For HFW, the main objective function was split into Fourier domain deconvolution and wavelet domain denoising, to avoid the computational burden of handling blurring matrix in wavelet domain. Further, the wavelet coefficients were modelled using the class of Gaussian scale mixture (GSM) model, which represent the heavy tailed distribution. The SMNA and KLD are designed for a more challenging task of blind image deconvolution (BID), where either no or very little prior information about the original image and blurring operator is provided. In SMNA an explicit blur estimation and strict positive constraint on the observed and original image, are utilized to retrieve the latent original image. The third method is derived using successive minimization of KLD between a model and a desired family of probability distributions. This algorithm can be viewed as cascaded EM in information geometric terms. In the second approach, dictionary learning methods with sparsity constraint on original image, are designed to address the image denoising and in-painting problem. Recently, the sparse representation emerged as a useful regularization in ill-posed linear inverse problems. The main assumption in this direction, is that the original image has a sparse representation over some dictionary. Three novel dictionary learning algorithms are outlined. In the first method, an orthogonal dictionary based on the profile-likelihood estimate is derived with single Eigen decomposition. Most of the dictionary learning algorithms confined the sparsity constraint to the sparse coding stage. In the second method, we look at the impact of enforcing the sparsity constraint also in the dictionary update stage. Within this framework different constraints such as smoothness of dictionary atoms and other can also be enforced t enhance the dictionary strength. In the last method, we looked into the double sparsity constraint, where the strength of explicit and implicit dictionaries is combined for…

▼ Conventional methods for solving image restoration problems are typically built on an image degradation model and on some priors of the latent image. The model of the degraded image and the prior knowledge of the latent image are necessary because the restoration is an ill posted inverse problem. However, for some applications, such as those addressed in this thesis, the image degradation process is too complex to model precisely; in addition, mathematical priors, such as low rank and sparsity of the image signal, are often too idealistic for real world images. These difficulties limit the performance of existing image restoration algorithms, but they can be, to certain extent, overcome by the techniques of machine learning, particularly deep convolutional neural networks. Machine learning allows large sample statistics far beyond what is available in a single input image to be exploited. More importantly, the big data can be used to train deep neural networks to learn the complex non-linear mapping between the degraded and original images. This circumvents the difficulty of building an explicit realistic mathematical model when the degradation causes are complex and compounded.
In this thesis, we design and implement deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) for two challenging image restoration problems: reflection removal and joint demosaicking-deblurring. The first problem is one of blind source separation; its DCNN solution requires a large set of paired clean and mixed images for training. As these paired training images are very difficult, if not impossible, to acquire in the real world, we develop a novel technique to synthesize the required training images that satisfactorily approximate the real ones. For the joint demosaicking-deblurring problem, we propose a new multiscale DCNN architecture consisting of a cascade of subnetworks so that the underlying blind deconvolution task can be broken into smaller subproblems and solved more effectively and robustly. In both cases extensive experiments are carried out. Experimental results demonstrate clear advantages of the proposed DCNN methods over existing ones.

▼ This thesis looks at the apologia employed by British Petroleum in the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in the summer of 2010. The critical question of this thesis is: What modes of apologia did British Petroleum employ in its public rhetoric in an effort to defend itself from accusations over the cause of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill? This thesis will analyze the press releases made public by British Petroleum to determine which modes of apologia, if any, were employed by the company to restore its
image. This study argues that apologia is used by organizations in responses of self defense in an effort to improve its
image with the public audience.

▼ Imaging through a turbulent medium, such as the atmosphere or the wavy surface of water, is highly desired in many scientific and military applications. This is a very challenging task due to the time-varying shifts and blurs captured in the images. This thesis deals with the geometrical
restoration of such images captured as video sequences. These ordinarily undesirable geometrical distortions also act as information compressors and can be exploited to extract further bandwidth from the images to produce high-quality images from their lower resolution counterparts. The research investigations cover both the atmospheric as well as underwater imaging.First, a simple and robust method is reviewed and improved upon to restore warped frames using motion vector fields (shiftmaps) obtained through a motion estimation technique. The centroid of the pixel shiftmaps is then calculated to generate individual
restoration shiftmaps for each warped frame. The centroid shiftmap is updated iteratively to take the restored frames closer to their likely ground-truth. Furthermore, the
image restoration method is made predictive by the use of a generalized regression neural network (GRNN), where the pixel shiftmaps amongst successive frames are used for training the network to determine the underlying warping functions, which in turn, are used to predict the upcoming warped frame. Moreover, the accurate motionanalysis along with video stabilization method is utilized for reliable segmentation of video frames into stable and moving components and subsequently stabilizing frames, keeping real moving objects unaltered. Motivated by the successful application of GRNN in warp prediction, finally, a new and more efficient target tracking algorithm is proposed that works based on determining the centre and the area of moving objects, using those features for GRNN training, and employing the trained network to estimate the objects’ locations in the next frame. Both the accuracy and the potential of the proposed algorithms have been investigated. The results presented are of both theoretical and practical interest and offer new efficient tools for substantial improvement of infrastructure of machine vision-based systems in general and of intelligent surveillance systems in particular.

▼ With the explosion in the number of digital images taken every day, people are demanding more accurate and visually pleasing images. However, the captured images by modern cameras are inevitably degraded by noise. Besides deteriorating image visual quality, noise also degrades the performance of high-level vision tasks such as object recognition and tracking. Therefore, image denoising is a critical preprocessing step. This thesis presents novel contributions to the field of image denoising.Image denoising is a highly ill-posed inverse problem. To alleviate the ill-posedness, an effective prior plays an important role and is a key factor for successful image denoising. With abundance of images available online, we propose to obtain priors from external image databases. In this thesis, we perform statistical analyses and rigorous derivations on how to obtain effective priors by utilizing external databases. For three denoising applications under different external settings, we show how we can explore effective priors and accordingly we present adaptive patch-based image denoising algorithms. In specific, we propose three adaptive algorithms: (1) adaptive non-local means for multiview image denoising; (2) adaptive image denoising by targeted databases; (3) adaptive image denoising by mixture adaption.In (1), we present how to improve the non-local prior by finding more relevant patches in the multiview image denoising setting. We propose a method that uses a robust joint-view distance metric to measure the similarity of patches and derive an adaptive procedure to determine the optimal number of patches for final non-local means denoising. In (2), we propose to switch from generic database to targeted database, i.e., for specific objects to be denoised, only targeted databases with relevant images should be used. We explore both the group sparsity prior and the localized Bayesian prior, and show how a near optimal and adaptive denoising filter can be designed so that the targeted database can be maximally utilized. In (3), we propose an adaptive learning procedure called Expectation-Maximization (EM) adaptation. The adaptive process takes a generic prior learned from a generic database and transfers it to the image of interest to create a specific prior. This adapted prior better captures the distribution of the image of interest and is consistently better than the un-adapted one. For all the three denoising applications, we conduct various denoising experiments. Our proposed adaptive algorithms have some superior denoising performance than some state-of-the-art algorithms.

▼ River
restoration has become more of a concern with human influence on natural systems on the rise. Beaver provide a relatively inexpensive and natural opportunity to restore rivers to a pre-settlement state. Quantitative models can be used to better understand where beaver reintroduction should occur to maximize the odds of a reintroduced beaver population establishing an ideal habitat to thrive in. The Beaver
Restoration Assessment Tool (BRAT) is a quantitative model that uses elevation, hydrology, and vegetation inputs to estimate the carrying capacity of beaver. The primary objective of this project is to develop baseline data that can inform river
restoration of the Dale Creek watershed on Old Elk Ranch, a northern tributary to the Poudre River in Northern Colorado, although the methods used in this study are broadly applicable to other watersheds. This objective was addressed during two phases of work – the channel and riparian condition assessment during summer 2018 and the assessment of historic and contemporary potential beaver habitat using BRAT and field surveys during summer 2019. Through the utilization of BRAT, survey mapping, and remote sensing, I was further able to determine the best methods for estimating potential beaver population density, as well as the accuracy of the BRAT results relative to the field survey results. Remote sensing provides a unique opportunity to increase the accuracy of BRAT through
image classification and analysis. A national vegetation dataset produced by LANDFIRE, with a spatial resolution of 10m, is not as spatially accurate as vegetation datasets derived though supervised classification of NAIP imagery with a 1m spatial resolution. Due to its coarser spatial resolution and being a product of generalized models and field data, LANDFIRE data missed important details in vegetation, such as riparian willows along valley bottoms and variabilities within the floodplain that are crucial for beaver survival. Furthermore, this increase in vegetation accuracy led to increasing the accuracy of BRAT predictions for beaver carrying capacity relative to ground-based mapping of past beaver occupation, allowing for better assessment of where beaver should be reintroduced. Historical BRAT estimates revealed that zero and 1st order channels had the highest carrying capacity of dams historically, accounting for 56% of reaches capable of the highest BRAT classification (15+ dams/km). According to the field survey and historical vs contemporary BRAT estimates, carrying capacity has been greatly reduced post human settlement, primarily in zero and 1st order channel valleys where cattle were introduced. The 2018 condition assessment confirmed that while riparian vegetation was healthiest in higher-order channels, zero and 1st order channels were heavily browsed by cattle, deer, and elk. Based on the distribution of riparian vegetation health, and carrying capacity estimates from BRAT and field surveys, stream
restoration would be most effective on 0th and 1st order streams.

▼ The emphasis on a gross nature-urban dichotomy and the insufficient examination of the restorative components (RCs) have limited our understanding of the effect of nature on humans. The purpose of this thesis is to gain a better understanding of the underlying visual features of naturalness and RCs. Through Amazon Mechanical Turk, 88 participants rated 680 outdoor images on naturalness and RCs (fascination, coherence, scope, being-away). Low-level visual features of these images, including hue, saturation, brightness, entropy, and edge density were analyzed. Findings suggest weak but significant associations between visual features and naturalness and RCs. Moreover, some visual features mediated the relationship between naturalness and RCs. Finally, qualitative analyses of scene-level characteristics suggest important distinctions between each RC. These are the first findings to show that underlying visual features of two levels of organization (low-level and scene-level) are associated with RCs. Future investigations should focus on understanding how visual features of scenes are related to improved cognitive functioning.

▼ Given we live in a digital age where images are regularly being viewed, posted, or utilized, spectators of such images on occasion could prefer a higher resolution perspective. The process of producing a high-resolution
image given a single low-resolution noisy measurement is called single-frame
image super resolution (SISR). Many interpolation schemes fail to preserve important edge information of images and cannot be used blindly for resolution enhancement. In general, apriori constraints can be imposed on the high resolution
image approximation. This process is called regularization. We model our SISR problem as an energy minimization procedure which optimally balances data fidelity and the regularization term. The regularization term will incorporate natural
image redundancy implicitly via the so called normalized graph Laplacian operator. This operator applies a non-local kernel similarity measure due to choice of a non-local operator for weight assignment. The data fidelity term is modeled as a likelihood estimator that is scaled using a sharpening term composed from the normalized graph Laplacian operator. Finally, a conjugate gradient scheme is used to minimize the objective functional. Promising results on resolution enhancement for a variety of digital images will be presented. Non-local methods can be further enhanced following a \boosting" procedure deemed to enhance a signal by reintroducing a \cleaned version of the signal back into the final approximation. This is beneficial for all non-local
restoration approaches. We show analytically that successive applications of this boosting operation does not necessarily guarantee a superior final solution.

▼ The Blind Image Deconvolution/Deblurring (BID) problem was realised in the early 1960s but it still remains a challenging task for the image processing research community to find an efficient, reliable and most importantly a diversely applicable deblurring scheme. The main challenge arises from little or no prior information about the image or the blurring process as well as the lack of optimal restoration filters to reduce or completely eliminate the blurring effect. Moreover, restoration can be marred by the two common side effects of deblurring; namely the noise amplification and ringing artefacts that arise in the deblurred image due to an unrealizable or imperfect restoration filter. Also, developing a scheme that can process different types of blur, especially for real images, is yet to be realized to a satisfactory level. This research is focused on the development of blind restoration schemes for real life blurred images. The primary objective is to design a BID scheme that is robust in term of Point Spread Function (PSF) estimation, efficient in terms of restoration speed, and effective in terms of restoration quality. A desired scheme will require a deblurring measure to act as a feedback of quality regarding the deblurred image and lead the estimation of the blurring PSF. The blurred image and the estimated PSF can then be passed on to any classical restoration filter for deblurring. The deblurring measures presented in this research include blind non-Gaussianity measures as well as blind Image Quality Measures (IQMs). These measures are blind in the sense that they are able to gauge the quality of an image directly from it without the need to reference a high quality image. The non-Gaussianity measures include spatial and spectral kurtosis measures; while the image quality analysers include the Blind/Reference-less Image Spatial QUality Evaluator (BRISQUE), Natural Image Quality Evaluator (NIQE) index and Reblurring based Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (RPSNR) measure. BRISQUE, NIQE and spectral kurtosis, are introduced for the first time as deblurring measures for BID. RPSNR is a novel full reference yet blind IQM designed and used in this research work. Experiments were conducted on different image datasets and real life blurred images. Optimization of the BID schemes has been achieved using a gradient descent based scheme and a Genetic Algorithm (GA). Quantitative results based on full-reference and non-reference IQMs, present BRISQUE as a robust and computationally efficient blind feedback quality measure. Also, parametric and arbitrarily shaped (non-parametric or generic) PSFs were treated for the blind deconvolution of images. The parametric forms of PSF include uniform Gaussian, motion and out-of-focus blur. The arbitrarily shaped PSFs comprise blurs that have a much more complex blur shape which cannot be easily modelled in the parametric form. A novel scheme for arbitrarily shaped PSF estimation and blind deblurring has been designed, implemented and tested on artificial and real life blurred images.…

▼ Image restoration aims at recovery of degraded images and estimating the original. Over the past few years, computer vision research has been dominated by deep learning techniques in part due to advances in computing infrastructure, algorithms and
image capturing devices. As a result, deep neural networks currently set the state-of-the-art in
image restoration problems. However, many of these techniques fail to reconstruct reasonable structures as they are commonly over-smoothed and/or blurry.
In this dissertation, we develop models based on deep convolutional neural networks to address two
image restoration problems:
image inpainting and
image super-resolution. We develop a new approach for
image inpainting that does a better job of reproducing missing regions exhibiting fine details. Furthermore, we extend this method to
image superresolution by reformulating the problem as an in-between pixels inpainting task. We propose a two-stage adversarial model that comprises of an edge generator followed by an
image completion network. The edge generator hallucinates edges of the missing region of the
image, and the
image completion network fills in the missing regions using hallucinated edges as a priori. We evaluate our model over the publicly available datasets and show that it outperforms current state-of-the-art techniques quantitatively and qualitatively.

▼ This work applies sparse representations and nonlinear
image processing to two inverse imaging problems. The first problem involves
image restoration, where the aim is to reconstruct an unknown high-quality
image from a low-quality observed
image. Sparse representations of images have drawn a considerable amount of interest in recent years. The assumption that natural signals, such as images, admit a sparse decomposition over a redundant dictionary leads to efficient algorithms for handling such sources of data. The standard sparse representation, however, does not consider the intrinsic geometric structure present in the data, thereby leading to sub-optimal results. Using the concept that a signal is block sparse in a given basis —i.e., the non-zero elements occur in clusters of varying sizes — we present a novel and efficient algorithm for learning a sparse representation of natural images, called graph regularized block sparse dictionary (GRBSD) learning. We apply the proposed method towards two
image restoration applications: 1) single-
Image super-resolution, where we propose a local regression model that uses learned dictionaries from the GRBSD algorithm for super-resolving a low-resolution
image without any external training images, and 2)
image inpainting, where we use GRBSD algorithm to learn a multiscale dictionary to generate visually plausible pixels to fill missing regions in an
image. Experimental results validate the performance of the GRBSD learning algorithm for single-
image super-resolution and
image inpainting applications. The second problem addressed in this work involves
image enhancement for detection and segmentation of objects in images. We exploit the concept that even though data from various imaging modalities have high dimensionality, the data is sufficiently well described using low-dimensional geometrical structures. To facilitate the extraction of objects having such structure, we have developed general structure enhancement methods that can be used to detect and segment various curvilinear structures in images across different applications. We use the proposed method to detect and segment objects of different size and shape in three applications: 1) segmentation of lamina cribrosa microstructure in the eye from second-harmonic generation microscopy images, 2) detection and segmentation of primary cilia in confocal microscopy images, and 3) detection and segmentation of vehicles in wide-area aerial imagery. Quantitative and qualitative results show that the proposed methods provide improved detection and segmentation accuracy and computational efficiency compared to other recent algorithms.

▼ Image restoration
methods attempt to remove the noise and blurring that
occur during image capture with the aim of producing a
more accurate representation of the original scene. First
becoming popular among scientist involved in space
exploration, the application of image restoration methods
rapidly spread to other areas such as medical imaging,
where it is used as a tool for improved patient
diagnosis. Although image restoration is a mature field
of research, significant progress in this field is
continually being made. The
combination of unknown random noise and blurring make the
image restoration problem an ill-posed inverse problem.
To create a well-posed problem, it is essential to
incorporate additional information about the ideal image
via regularization methods. State-of-the-art
regularization methods utilize nonlinear image priors.
This means that the image restoration problem is most
accurately expressed as a nonlinear optimization problem
with inequality constraints. It has
traditionally been diffcult to solve nonlinear image
restoration problems that have inequality constraints. As
a result, a great deal of research has focused on
developing algorithms for solving unconstrained nonlinear
restoration problems. These include variable splitting,
two-step, and Bregman iterative algorithms. In this
thesis, the nonlinear convex image restoration problem
with inequality constraints is reformulated as a
variational inequality problem. The variational
inequality problem is then solved using a dynamical
systems approach. This approach simultaneously computes
the restored image and an adaptive regularization
parameter. The proposed variational
inequality approach to image restoration is also extended
to perform region-based regularization. Region-based
regularization methods use contextual information to
calculate a spatially adaptive regularization parameter
for each image region. Using the new theoretical results
described in compressive sampling theory, the proposed
region-based restoration method performs selective
deconvolution of image coefficients. This is shown to
provide improved restoration performance, suppressing
noise amplification without adversely affecting the
restoration of edges. Multi-frame
image restoration problems are also solved using the
proposed variational inequality approach. The increased
development and use of hybrid and stereo cameras has
highlighted the need for effective multi-frame
restoration methods. However, standard methods fail to
exploit image correlations if the…

▼ Digital photography has experienced great progress during the past decade. A lot of people are recording their moments via digital hand-held cameras. Pictures taken with digital cameras usually undergo some sort of degradation in the form of noise/blur depending on the camera hardware and environmental conditions in which the photos are taken. This leads to an ever-increasing demand for effective and effcient image enhancement algorithms to achieve high quality output images in digital photography systems. In this dissertation, a new graph-based framework is introduced for different image restoration applications. This framework is based on exploiting the existing self-similarity in images. We introduce a new definition of normalized graph Laplacian matrix for image processing. We use this new definition to develop effective enhancement algorithms for image deblurring, image denoising, and image sharpening.First, we develop a regularization framework for image deblurring by constructing a new graph-based cost function. Minimizing the corresponding cost function yields effective outputs for different blur types including out-of-focus and motion blurs. Our proposed deblurring algorithm based on the new definition of normalized graph Laplacian provides performance and analysis advantages over previous methods. We have shown its effectiveness for several synthetic and real deblurring examples.Second, we develop a new graph-based framework for image denoising. The proposed denoising method exploits the similarity information in images by constructing the similarity matrix which in turn is used to derive the corresponding graph Laplacian. A graph-based objective function with new data fidelity and smoothness terms is constructed and minimized. We also establish the relationship between our proposed regularized framework and two well-known iterative methods for improving the performance of kernel-based denoising methods; namely, diusion and boosting iterations.We compare the performance of the proposed denoising method with that of NLM algorithm [11] and demonstrate that our proposed algorithm is able to enhance over NLM. Furthermore, we present a graph-based analysis framework for multi-layer image decomposition using diffusion and boosting iterations.Third, we propose a new data-adaptive sharpening algorithm based on the notion of difference of smoothing operators. We provide an interpretation of our proposed sharpening method as the image-derived version of difference of Gaussians (DoG) operator broadly used in numerous image processing and computer graphics tasks [66, 121, 122].Finally, we provide a theoretical study on the reported range of the eigenvalues of various definitions of normalized graph Laplacian for different graph structures. This sheds light on the existing ambiguity on the spectral range of such matrices in different applications.

▼ Syfte: Syftet med studien är att öka förståelsen för hur kriskommunikation vid en förtroendekris används och hur förtroendeingivande kriskommunikationen uppfattas av allmänheten, med utgångspunkt från Image restoration theory. Metod: Studiens metoder består av en kombination av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och en kvantitativ enkätstudie. Resultat & Slutsats: Det som kan synas i resultaten av innehållsanalysen är att kriskommunikationen vid en förtroendekris innefattar strategierna “korrigerande åtgärd”, “bakomliggande orsaker”, “goda avsikter”, “erkännande av fel”, “stöttande”, “minimera”, “fördel” och “enkel förnekelse”. De strategier som inte användes vid en förtroendekris var “skylla ifrån sig”, “olycka”, “differentiering”, “attackera den anklagande parten”, “provokation” och “kompensera”. Intressenternas uppfattning beror dels på målgrupp, användning av strategierna och mediernas inverkan. Mest förtroendeingivande ansågs “erkännande av fel”, “korrigerande åtgärd” och “kompensation”. Minst förtroendeingivande ansågs “enkel förnekelse”, “olycka”, “anklaga den attackerande parten” och “skylla ifrån sig”. Förberedande åtgärder har också upptäckts vara väldigt viktigt vid en förtroendekris. Förslag på fortsatt forskning: Komplettera nuvarande studie med kvalitativa intervjuer med intressenter; Utföra ytterligare en fallstudie av Kommunal med fokus på det efterarbete och förberedande åtgärder som tillämpas för att undvika att hamna i samma situation igen; Komplettera nuvarande studie med en ostrukturerad innehållsanalys för att utläsa eventuella uttalanden från Kommunal som inte faller inom ramen för Image restoration theory. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studien ger organisationer en bättre helhetsbild av hur de ska kommunicera med allmänheten vid en förtroendekris, på allmänhetens villkor. Studien bidrar till att presentera ett heltäckande verktyg som kan vägleda dem att använda kriskommunikationen på ett sätt som dels minskar hotet mot organisationens rykte och dels bygger förtroendekapital hos intressenterna i ett tidigt skede.

▼ Optical blur obscures
image detail due to the camera's optics. The blur appearance depends on the scene's depth, wavelength, as well as the camera. The inference of such information – optical calibration,
image deblurring, and depth estimation – is of great interest to computer vision. Existing approaches make impractical assumptions about the camera and the scene, and are therefore restricted to lab settings. In this thesis, we propose novel optical blur models towards solving the above inference problems in everyday settings.
First, we propose a practical model for lenses with monochromatic optical aberrations, assuming the aberrations can be fully described by Seidel aberrations. Although the model produces realistic 2D blur kernels of complicated appearance, it has very few parameters and thus can be estimated using very limited data. We show specifically that just three blur kernels contain enough information to estimate the lens parameters up to an aperture-dependent scale factor.
Second, we study
image deblurring for RGB-Infrared imaging. This problem is especially challenging since RGB-Infrared cameras suffer from inevitable chromatic aberration, channel crosstalk, and pixel multiplexing due to the color-filter-array. The coupling of the distortions are critical to deblurring quality but is non-trivial to invert efficiently. We propose a practical
image formation model that captures all three distortions while enables fast
restoration.
Third, we develop an approach to two-frame Depth from Defocus (DFD) in everyday settings. The main challenge here is that the inter-frame motion needs to be estimated in addition to depth from just two images. We propose conditions to control the camera focus to guarantee near-optimal DFD estimation and a method to estimate depth and the motion jointly in local 9x9 patches. This allows us to capture sparse depth map even in non-rigid scenes.
Fourth, we propose a method to fuse local DFD results into dense depth and flow maps. The noise, sparsity and ambiguities inherent in DFD makes this problem particularly difficult. We introduce a splined-based prior to enable fusion over great
image distances and irregular shaped regions, and to allow explicit reasoning about figure-ground relationships. Our final results exhibits high quality results with crisp boundaries.

▼ Here three different problems are addressed in Statistics and its applications. The first chapter addresses a statistical estimation problem in controlled branching processes, then a Bayesian test is developed for testing zero-inflation in
count and it ends with an application of Bayesian techniques in Bio-medical imaging. Controlled branching processes (CBP) with a random control function provide a useful way to model generation sizes in population dynamics studies, where control on the
growth of the population size is necessary at each generation. Motivated by the work of Wei and Winnicki (1990), we develop a weighted conditional least squares estimator of the offspring mean of the CBP and derive the asymptotic limit distribution of
the estimator when the process is subcritical, critical and supercritical, respectively. The results obtained here extend those of Wei and Winnicki (1990) for branching processes with immigration and provide a unified limit theory of estimation. A
zero-inflated power series distribution is a mixture of a power series distribution and a degenerate distribution at zero, with a mixing probability p for the degenerate distribution. This distribution is useful for modeling count data that may have
extra zeros. One question is whether the mixture model can be reduced to the power series portion, corresponding to p = 0, or whether there are so many zeros in the data that zero inflation relative to the pure power series distribution must be included
in the model i.e., p ≥ 0. The problem is difficult partially because p = 0 is a boundary point. Here, we present a Bayesian test for this problem. We compare our Bayesian solution to two standard frequentist testing procedures. The next topic addresses
two clinically challenging problems in the domain of virtual mandibular surgery, namely, (a) detection of minor/hairline fractures and (b) generation of target pattern (reconstructed mandible) with accompanied prognosis of fracture healing.
Identification of hairline fractures in input X-ray or Computer Tomography (CT) images is very difficult, especially, in the presence of noise.We propose aMarkov Random Field (MRF)-Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) probability based two-phase approach using the
principles of Bayesian image restoration to solve both the aforementioned problems.

▼ Classification/clustering is an important class of unstructured data processing problems. The classification (supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised) aims to discover the clusters and group the similar data into categories for information organization and knowledge discovery. My work focuses on using the Bayesian methods and machine learning techniques to classify the free-text and
image data, and address how to overcome the limitations of the traditional methods. The Bayesian approach provides a way to allow using more variations(numerical or categorical), and estimate the probabilities instead of explicit rules, which will benefit in the ambiguous cases. The MAP(maximum a posterior) estimation is used to deal with the local maximum problems which the ML(maximum likelihood) method gives inaccurate estimates. The EM(expectation-maximization) algorithm can be applied with MAP estimation for the incomplete/missing data problems. Our proposed framework can be used in both supervised and unsupervised classification. For natural language processing(NLP), we applied the machine learning techniques for sentence/text classification. For 3D CT
image segmentation, MAP EM clustering approach is proposed to auto-detect the number of objects in the 3D CT luggage
image, and the prior knowledge and constraints in MAP estimation are used to avoid/improve the local maximum problems. The algorithm can automatically determine the number of classes and find the optimal parameters for each class. As a result, it can automatically detect the number of objects and produce better segmentation for each object in the
image. For segmented object recognition, we applied machine learning techniques to classify each object into targets or non-targets. We have achieved the good results with 90% PD(probability of detection) and 6% PFA(probability of false alarm). For
image restoration, in X-ray imaging, scatter can produce noise, artifacts, and decreased contrast. In practice, hardware such as anti-scatter grid is often used to reduce scatter. However, the remaining scatter can still be significant and additional software-based correction is desirable. Furthermore, good software solutions can potentially reduce the amount of needed anti-scatter hardware, thereby reducing cost. In this work, the scatter correction is formulated as a Bayesian MAP (maximum a posteriori) problem with a non-local prior, which leads to better textural detail preservation in scatter reduction. The efficacy of our algorithm is demonstrated through experimental and simulation results.

▼ La generación de modelos urbanos de elevación a partir de imágenes de satélite mediante
técnicas de reconstrucción estereoscópica presenta varios retos debido a sus requisitos
de precisión. En esta tesis se estudian tres problemas vinculados a la generación de
estos modelos partiendo de pares estereoscópicos adquiridos por satélites en una configuración
con baseline pequeño. Estos problemas fueron motivados por el proyecto MISS,
lanzado por el CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) con el objetivo de desarrollar las
técnicas de reconstrucción para imágenes adquiridas con baseline pequeños. El primer
problema es la restauración de imágenes muestreadas irregularmente y la fusión de imágenes
usando un modelo de interpolación de banda limitada. Se propone un nuevo método de
restauración, el cual usa una familia de regularizadores que permite controlar el
decaimiento espectral de la solución e incorpora el modelo de formación de imagen como un
conjunto de restricciones locales. El segundo problema es la interpolación de imágenes
muestreadas en forma dispersa usando un prior de auto similitud, se considera también el
problema relacionado de inpainting de imágenes. Se propone un nuevo framework para
inpainting basado en ejemplares, el cual luego es extendido a la interpolación de imágenes
muestreadas en forma dispersa. El tercer problema es la regularización e interpolación de
modelos digitales de elevación imponiendo restricciones geométricas las cuales se extraen de
una imagen de referencia. Para este problema se estudian tres modelos de regularización: un
regularizador anisótropo de superficie mínima, la variación total anisótropa y un nuevo
algoritmo de interpolación afín a trozos.

▼ The issue of
restoration of ultrasound images through
blind deconvolution has been one of the chief problems in medical
ultrasound imaging. This paper focuses on non‐blind and blind
deconvolution methods, and compares those techniques against each
other. To be specific, the non‐blind deconvolution method is based
on attenuating the low‐frequency or high‐frequency components and
preserving the other. In low‐pass and high‐pass filters, the ideal
filters exhibit a sharp transition from passband to stopband, which
contributes to the undesirable ringing effect. In contrast, the
Gaussian filter exhibits a smooth transition. Butterworth filters
allow the freedom to control the shape of the transition, thereby
coming close to an ideal filter. The blind deconvolution method
discussed in this paper involves a iterative multichannel algorithm
that is derived from the spatially adaptive local polynomial
approximation (LPA) and intersection of confidence levels (ICI)
method. The second blind deconvolution method that is discussed is
the maximum likelihood technique, which involves estimating the PSF
and then utilizing the Wiener filter.

▼ La criminalistique en images numériques se développe comme un outil puissant pour l'authentification d'image, en travaillant de manière passive et aveugle sans l'aide d'informations d'authentification pré-intégrées dans l'image (contrairement au tatouage fragile d'image). En parallèle, l'anti-criminalistique se propose d'attaquer les algorithmes de criminalistique afin de maintenir une saine émulation susceptible d'aider à leur amélioration. En images numériques, l'anti-criminalistique partage quelques similitudes avec la restauration d'image : dans les deux cas, l'on souhaite approcher au mieux les informations perdues pendant un processus de dégradation d'image. Cependant, l'anti-criminalistique se doit de remplir au mieux un objectif supplémentaire, extit{i.e.} : être non détectable par la criminalistique actuelle. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons une nouvelle piste de recherche pour la criminalistique en images numériques, en tirant profit des concepts/méthodes avancés de la restauration d'image mais en intégrant des stratégies/termes spécifiquement anti-criminalistiques. Dans ce contexte, cette thèse apporte des contributions sur quatre aspects concernant, en criminalistique JPEG, (i) l'introduction du déblocage basé sur la variation totale pour contrer les méthodes de criminalistique JPEG et (ii) l'amélioration apportée par l'adjonction d'un lissage perceptuel de l'histogramme DCT, (iii) l'utilisation d'un modèle d'image sophistiqué et d'un lissage non paramétrique de l'histogramme DCT visant l'amélioration de la qualité de l'image falsifiée; et, en criminalistique du filtrage médian, (iv) l'introduction d'une méthode fondée sur la déconvolution variationnelle. Les résultats expérimentaux démontrent l'efficacité des méthodes anti-criminalistiques proposées, avec notamment une meilleure indétectabilité face aux détecteurs criminalistiques actuels ainsi qu'une meilleure qualité visuelle de l'image falsifiée par rapport aux méthodes anti-criminalistiques de l'état de l'art.
Image forensics enjoys its increasing popularity as a powerful image authentication tool, working in a blind passive way without the aid of any a priori embedded information compared to fragile image watermarking. On its opponent side, image anti-forensics attacks forensic algorithms for the future development of more trustworthy forensics. When image coding or processing is involved, we notice that image anti-forensics to some extent shares a similar goal with image restoration. Both of them aim to recover the information lost during the image degradation, yet image anti-forensics has one additional indispensable forensic undetectability requirement. In this thesis, we form a new research line for image anti-forensics, by leveraging on advanced concepts/methods from image restoration meanwhile with integrations of anti-forensic strategies/terms. Under this context, this thesis contributes on the following four aspects for JPEG compression and median filtering anti-forensics: (i) JPEG anti-forensics using Total Variation based deblocking,…

▼ High quality
image /video has become an integral part in our day-to-day life ranging from many areas of science, engineering and medical diagnosis. All these imaging applications call for high resolution, properly focused and crisp images. However, in real situations obtaining such a high quality
image is expensive, and in some cases it is not practical. In imaging systems such as digital camera, blur and noise degrade the
image quality. The recorded images look blurred, noisy and unable to resolve the finer details of the scene, which are clearly notable under zoomed conditions. The post processing techniques based on computational methods extract the hidden information and thereby improve the quality of the captured images.
The study in this thesis focuses on deconvolution and eventually blind de-convolution problem of a single frame captured at low light imaging conditions arising from digital photography/surveillance imaging applications. Our intention is to restore a sharp
image from its blurred and noisy observation, when the blur is completely known/unknown and such inverse problems are ill-posed/twice ill-posed. This thesis consists of two major parts. The first part addresses deconvolution/blind deconvolution problem using Bayesian approach with fuzzy logic based gradient potential as a prior functional.
In comparison with analog cameras, artifacts are visible in digital cameras when the images are enlarged and there is a demand to enhance the resolution. The increased resolution can be in spatial, temporal or even in both the dimensions. Super resolution reconstruction methods reconstruct images/video containing spectral information beyond that is available in the captured low resolution images. The second part of the thesis addresses resolution enhancement of observed monochromatic/color images using multiple frames of the same scene. This reconstruction problem is formulated in Bayesian domain with an aspiration of reducing blur, noise, aliasing and increasing the spatial resolution. The
image is modeled as Markov random field and a fuzzy logic filter based gradient potential is used to differentiate between edge and noisy pixels. Suitable priors are adaptively applied to obtain artifact free/reduced images.
In this work, all our approaches are experimentally validated using standard test images. The Matlab based programming tools are used for carrying out the validation. The performance of the approaches are qualitatively compared with results of recently proposed methods. Our results turn out to be visually pleasing and quantitatively competitive.

▼ Product recalls (ook wel terughaal- of terugroepacties) hebben pragmatisch gezien tegenstrijdige belangen. Enerzijds dienen ze de consumenten te waarschuwen voor defecte producten, terwijl ze anderzijds de consumenten proberen te overtuigen om de producten in de toekomst te blijven kopen. Om te voorkomen dat de consumenten de producten in de toekomst niet meer aan zullen schaffen worden er imagoreparerende strategieën toegepast.
Echter, in voorgaande onderzoeken wordt geconcludeerd dat deze strategieën averechts werken wanneer de consumenten doorhebben dat ze toegepast worden. Strategieën waarbij dit expliciet naar voren kwam waren Shifting the Blame (iemand anders de schuld geven) en Minimization (het voorval minimaliseren).
In deze scriptie is onderzocht of met behulp van Attribuut Framing (het anders beschrijven van de negatieve gebeurtenis zonder dat de logische betekenis ervan verandert) de schade aan het imago op een subtiele wijze verkleind kan worden. De uitkomst van het onderzoek is tot stand gekomen aan de hand van 200 respondenten, verdeeld over acht versies. Deze acht versies varieerden in merk van het product, beschrijving van framing (in percentages of kansen) en uiteraard framing zelf (positief of negatief). Elke respondent kreeg één van de acht product recall advertenties te lezen waarna 27 stellingen gegeven werden waar men het mee eens of oneens kon zijn.
De uitkomst is dat een voorval als minder ernstig wordt ervaren wanneer het positief geframed (omschreven) is. Dit geldt voor zowel de omschrijving in percentages als in kansen. Ook in het geval van intentie is men meer geneigd tot herhaalaankopen wanneer het voorval positief geframed is. Net als bij ernst is het hierbij niet van belang of de frames beschreven zijn in kansen of percentages. Dit is niet het geval voor de waardering van het imago. Hierbij is er geen verschil tussen beide frames wanneer het omschreven is in kansen. Wel is er een verschil gemeten bij de omschrijving in percentages. Bij die omschrijving wordt de producent aantrekkelijker, deskundiger, klantgerichter en betrouwbaarder gevonden wanneer het voorval positief geframed is.
De conclusie van dit onderzoek is dan ook dat wanneer er een product teruggeroepen moet worden het verstandig is om het voorval concreet (met behulp van percentages) positief te framen.

▼ The material-turn in photographic studies reveals that photographs cannot be correctly understood without direct interpretation of their physicality; however, institutions with photograph collections are increasingly offering digital access to these physical objects. With the benefits of digital access being too great to ignore, this research determines how a public institution can best enhance access to a collection of material photographs through digital media, while maintaining the core needs of the institution, its users, and the meaning of the photographs themselves. Using the Charles Chusseau-Flaviens collection at George Eastman House as an example, this research reveals practical benefits of combining Web 2.0 technologies such as Flickr with Encoded Archival Description (EAD) into an effective and efficient collection-level finding aid. This thesis presents an approach to providing enhanced digital access to a large collection of photographs while considering their materiality. The resulting finding aid can be found at: http://www.ryanbuckley.ca/findingaid/chusseau-flaviens.xml.
