The Pixon Method of Image Reconstruction
نویسنده
چکیده
The Pixon method is a high-performance, nonlinear image reconstruction method that provides statistically unbiased photometry and robust rejection of spurious sources. Relative to other methods, it can increase linear spatial resolution by a factor of a few and sensitivity by an order of magnitude or more. All of these benefits are achieved in computation times that can be orders of magnitude faster than its best competitors.

Pixon-basedmultiresolution Imagereconstruction and Quantification of Image Information Content
This paper describes the theory of pixon-based image reconstruction. After a brief introduction of the basic concepts of the pixon, the paper concentrates primarily on our current implementation of the techniques along with the approximations and shortcuts that seem to provide practical software algorithms. We then present an example of application of the method to astrophysical data.
متن کاملAn Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation
An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...
متن کاملPixon-Based Image Restoration/Reconstruction
This lecture introduces pixon-based image restoration/reconstruction methods. The relationship between image Algorithmic Information Content and the Bayesian incarnation of Occam's Razor are discussed as well as the relationship of multiresolution pixon languages and image fractal dimension. Also discussed is the relationship of pixons to the role played by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle ...
متن کاملA Pixon-based Image Segmentation Method Considering Textural Characteristics of Image
Image segmentation is an essential and critical process in image processing and pattern recognition. In this paper we proposed a textured-based method to segment an input image into regions. In our method an entropy-based textured map of image is extracted, followed by an histogram equalization step to discriminate different regions. Then with the aim of eliminating unnecessary details and achi...
متن کاملPixon-based multiresolution image reconstruction and the quantification of picture information content
This paper reviews pixon-based image reconstruction, which in it current formulation uses a multiresolution language to quantify an image's Algorithmic Information Content (AIC) using Baye-sian techniques. Each pixon (or its generalization, the informaton) represents a fundamental quanta of an image's AIC, and an image's pixon basis represents the minimum degrees-of-freedom necessary to describ...
