Am-Fm Methods For Image And Video Processing, Victor Manuel Murray Herrera Jan 2009

Am-Fm Methods For Image And Video Processing, Victor Manuel Murray Herrera

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

This dissertation is focused on the development of robust and efficient Amplitude-Modulation Frequency-Modulation (AM-FM) demodulation methods for image and video processing (there is currently a patent pending that covers the AM-FM methods and applications described in this dissertation). The motivation for this research lies in the wide number of image and video processing applications that can significantly benefit from this research. A number of potential applications are developed in the dissertation. First, a new, robust and efficient formulation for the instantaneous frequency (IF) estimation: a variable spacing, local quadratic phase method (VS-LQP) is presented. VS-LQP produces much more accurate results …
