Redundant Wavelet-Based Image Restoration Using A Prior Information, Mary K. Marcum

Theses and Dissertations

Reconnaissance missions and satellites collect hundreds of images loaded with valuable information to be utilized by the Air Force. Intelligence operations must analyze these images to extract the information needed to help commanders make important decisions. No matter how obtained, images of this type are often degraded by noise due to disruptions such as atmospheric disturbances, optical system variations, motion, and large distance from the sensor to the source. This noise must be removed effectively to improve the quality of these images and ensure that the information contained in them can be correctly extracted. The Air Force relies on the …
