In order to improve the effect of turbulence degraded image restoration, aiming at the problem that the fuzzy solution is easy to be obtained by using the prior information constraint of gradient distribution under the framework of maximum a posteriori probability of blind restoration algorithm, this paper proposes a dark channel constraint and alternated direction multiplier optimization of turbulence degraded image blind restoration method.First, based on the idea of multi-scale, a dark channel prior constraint is imposed on the image and non-negative constraints and energy constraints are imposed on the point spread function at each level.Then, the kernel and image of the current scale are estimated by alternating iterations of coordinate descent method. When the maximum scale is reached, the final estimated blur kernel is obtained.Last, combined with the total variational model, the image details are quickly restored using the alternate direction optimization method. The experimental results show that the prior information constraint used in the proposed algorithm is advantageous to obtain a clear solution, and can converge to the global optimal solution in the total variational model, which can effectively suppress the artifacts produced in the image restoration process and recover a better target image detail.


After a brief review of the paradigm of bayesian image restoration, we pose the question: If high-level prior information is available and usable, what is lost by modelling at the pixel level instead? Our discussion is based on a real application where this question is relevant: the use of gamma-camera imagery in the location of lesions. Procedures using ‘global' prior information in the form of a structural model for the image are compared with those using more conventional 'local' priors, modelling only interactions among neighbouring pixels. We address in detail physical modelling and algorithms, and present results with both real and simulated data.

The poor denoising effect for noisy grayscale images with traditional processing methods would be obtained under strong noise condition, and some image details would be lost. In this paper, a parallel array model of Fitzhugh–Nagumo (FHN) neurons was proposed, which can restore noisy grayscale images well with low peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) conditions and the image details are better preserved. Firstly, the row-column scanning method was used to convert the 2D grayscale image into a 1D signal, and then the 1D signal was converted into a binary pulse amplitude modulation (BPAM) signal by signal modulation. The modulated signal was input to an FHN parallel array for stochastic resonance (SR). Finally, the array output signal was restored to a 2D gray image, and the image restoration effect was analyzed based on the PSNR and Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) index. It is shown that the SR effect can be exhibited in an array of FHN neuron nonlinearities by increasing the array size, and the image restoration effect is significantly better than the traditional image restoration method, and larger PSNR and SSIM can be obtained. It provides a new idea for grayscale image restoration in a low PSNR environment.

Advances in digital imaging microscopy and in the synthesis of fluorescent dyes allow the determination of 3D distribution of specific proteins, ions, GNA or DNA in single living cells. Effective use of this technology requires a combination of optical and computer hardware and software for image restoration, feature extraction and computer graphics.The digital imaging microscope consists of a conventional epifluorescence microscope with computer controlled focus, excitation and emission wavelength and duration of excitation. Images are recorded with a cooled (-80°C) CCD. 3D images are obtained as a series of optical sections at .25 - .5 μm intervals.A conventional microscope has substantial blurring along its optical axis. Out of focus contributions to a single optical section cause low contrast and flare; details are poorly resolved along the optical axis. We have developed new computer algorithms for reversing these distortions. These image restoration techniques and scanning confocal microscopes yield significantly better images; the results from the two are comparable.

Increased specimen penetration; the principle advantage of high voltage microscopy, is accompanied by an increased need to utilize information on three dimensional specimen structure available in the form of two dimensional projections (i.e. micrographs). We are engaged in a program to develop methods which allow the maximum use of information contained in a through tilt series of micrographs to determine three dimensional speciman structure.In general, we are dealing with structures lacking in symmetry and with projections available from only a limited span of angles (±60°). For these reasons, we must make maximum use of any prior information available about the specimen. To do this in the most efficient manner, we have concentrated on iterative, real space methods rather than Fourier methods of reconstruction. The particular iterative algorithm we have developed is given in detail in ref. 3. A block diagram of the complete reconstruction system is shown in fig. 1.

X-rays are emitted from a relatively large volume in bulk samples, limiting the smallest features which are visible in X-ray maps. Beam spreading also hampers attempts to make geometric measurements of features based on their boundaries in X-ray maps. This has prompted recent interest in using low voltages, and consequently mapping L or M lines, in order to minimize the blurring of the maps.An alternative strategy draws on the extensive work in image restoration (deblurring) developed in space science and astronomy since the 1960s. A recent example is the restoration of images from the Hubble Space Telescope prior to its new optics. Extensive literature exists on the theory of image restoration. The simplest case and its correspondence with X-ray mapping parameters is shown in Figures 1 and 2.Using pixels much smaller than the X-ray volume, a small object of differing composition from the matrix generates a broad, low response. This shape corresponds to the point spread function (PSF). The observed X-ray map can be modeled as an “ideal” map, with an X-ray volume of zero, convolved with the PSF. Figure 2a shows the 1-dimensional case of a line profile across a thin layer. Figure 2b shows an idealized noise-free profile which is then convolved with the PSF to give the blurred profile of Figure 2c.
