Interpolating full-resolution color images from color-filterarray (CFA) samples is Image demosaicing. Bayer pattern is popular among various CFA patterns and demosaicing with this Bayer pattern produces high resolution color images. This paper presents a new demosaicing approach for spatially sampled image data perceived through a color filter array, and thereby exploiting the correlation of co...

In this article, we propose optimal discretization of analog filters (or controllers) based on the theory of sampled-data H∞ control. We formulate the discretization problem as minimization of the H∞ norm of the error system between a (delayed) target analog filter and a digital system including an ideal sampler, a zero-order hold, and a digital filter. The problem is reduced to discrete-time H...

In this paper, we consider signal interpolation of discrete-time signals which are decimated nonuniformly. A conventional interpolation method is based on the sampling theorem, and the resulting system consists of an ideal filter with complex-valued coefficients. While the conventional method assumes band limitation of signals, we propose a new method by sampled-data H ∞ optimization. By this m...

In this paper, we present FaceTrack, a system that detects, tracks, and groups faces from compressed video data. We introduce the face tracking framework based on the Kalman filter and multiple hypothesis techniques. We compare and discuss the effects of various motion models on tracking performance. Specifically, we investigate constant-velocity, constant-acceleration, correlated-acceleration,...

Studies of myocardial motion using magnetic resonance imaging usually require multiple breath holds and several methods have been proposed in order to reduce the scan time. Rapid imaging using k-t BLAST has gained much attention with its high reduction factors and image quality. Temporal smoothing, however, may reduce the accuracy when assessing cardiac function. In the present work, a modified...
