Abstract

We propose to investigate novel algorithms and parallel architectures for cleaning and sharpening blurred and noisy images obtained from optical microscopy (OM) and NMR imaging systems at JIC and IFR. This type of image processing is a genetic technique of considerable importance to both Institutes. The main objectives are three-fold: 1) to extend and apply our two new non-linear restoration algorithms developed for optical microscopy at JIC to a new area, namely the NMR imaging at IFR, 2) to research and develop novel and robust Bayesian restoration and blind deconvolution algorithms for the OM and NMR applications which produce much better quality restored images and 3) to investigate novel mutiprocessor architecture in order to speed up considerably restoration time of the complex 2D and 3D Bayesian algorithms developed in 2).
