Myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging with Tc99m-sestamibi is the most accurate non-invasive means of detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of perfusion abnormalities in the patients with coronary stenosis. Though simple and straight forward the results produced by the technique is very much affected by the details being used. One of the main problems with the test, wh...

A Wiener system is a linear time-invariant filter, followed by an invertible nonlinear distortion. Assuming that the input signal is an independent and identically distributed (iid) sequence, we propose an algorithm for estimating the input signal only by observing the output of the Wiener system. The algorithm is based on minimizing the mutual information of the output samples, by means of a s...

To incorporate the georegistration and restoration processes into airborne data processing in support of U.S. Department of Energy's nuclear emergency response task, we developed an adaptive restoration filter for airborne Daedalus AADS1268 ATM thermal data based on the Wiener filtering theory. Preliminary assessment shows that this filter enhances the detectability of small weak thermal anomal...

A filter bank design based on orthonormal wavelets and equipped with a multiscale Kalman filter was recently proposed for signal restoration of fractal signals corrupted by external noise. In this paper, we give the corresponding parameters of the dynamic system and more accurate estimation. Comparisons between Wiener and Kalman filters are given. Typical computer simulation results demonstrate...

Binaural noise-reduction techniques based on Multichannel Wiener filter (MWF) have been reported as promissory candidates to be used in binaural hearing aids because of their effective SNR improvement at any arbitrary direction of arrival of the target signal and the preservation of localization cues. There are different MWF techniques derived in the FFT domain. The use of an FFT-based processi...

Image denoising is the basic problem in digital image processing. Removing Noise from the image is the main task to denoise the image. Salt & pepper (Impulse) noise and the additive white Gaussian noise and blurredness are the types of noise that occur during transmission and capturing. To remove these types of noise we have many filters like mean filter, median filter, inverse filter, wiener f...

The ideal sinc filter, ignoring the noise statistics, is often applied for generating an arbitrary sample of a bandlimited signal by using the uniformly sampled data. In this article, an optimal interpolator is proposed; it reaches a minimum mean square error (MMSE) at its output in the presence of noise. The resulting interpolator is thus a Wiener filter, and both the optimal infinite impulse ...

Wiener filter suppresses noise efficiently. However, it makes the out image blurred. Curvelet preserves the edges of natural images perfectly, but, it produces visual distortion artifacts and fuzzy edges to the restored image, especially in homogeneous regions of images. In this paper, a new image denoising framework based on Curvelet transform and wiener filter is proposed, which can stop nois...
