Uniqueness Theorems In Bioluminescence Tomography, Ge Wang, Yi Li, Ming Jiang

Yi Li

Motivated by bioluminescent imaging needs for studies on gene therapy and other applications in the mouse models, a bioluminescence tomography (BLT) system is being developed in the University of Iowa. While the forward imaging model is described by the well-known diffusion equation, the inverse problem is to recover an internal bioluminescent source distribution subject to Cauchy data. Our primary goal in this paper is to establish the solution uniqueness for BLT under practical constraints despite the ill-posedness of the inverse problem in the general case. After a review on the inverse source literature, we demonstrate that in the general case …


Biorthogonal Spline Type Wavelets, Tian-Xiao He Dec 2003

Biorthogonal Spline Type Wavelets, Tian-Xiao He

Tian-Xiao He

Let ¢ be an orthonormal scaling function with approximation degree p - 1, and let Bn be the B-spline of order n. Then, spline type scaling functions defined by fn = f * Bn (n = 1, 2, ... ) possess higher approximation order, p+n-1, and compact support. The corresponding biorthogonal wavelet functions are also constructed. This technique is extended to the case of biorthogonal scaling function system. As an application of the method supplied in this paper, one can easily construct a sequence of pairs of biorthogonal spline type scaling functions from one pair of biorthogonal scaling functions or …
