Blind deconvolution, which comprises simultaneous blur and image estimations, is a strongly ill-posed problem. It is by now well known that if multiple images of the same scene are acquired, this multichannel (MC) blind deconvolution problem is better posed and allows blur estimation directly from the degraded images. We improve the MC idea by adding robustness to noise and stability in the case of large blurs or if the blur size is vastly overestimated. We formulate blind deconvolution as an l(1) -regularized optimization problem and seek a solution by alternately optimizing with respect to the image and with respect to blurs. Each optimization step is converted to a constrained problem by variable splitting and then is addressed with an augmented Lagrangian method, which permits simple and fast implementation in the Fourier domain. The rapid convergence of the proposed method is illustrated on synthetically blurred data. Applicability is also demonstrated on the deconvolution of real photos taken by a digital camera. 相似文献
In this paper, we propose a denoising method motivated by our previous analysis of the performance bounds for image denoising. Insights from that study are used here to derive a high-performance practical denoising algorithm. We propose a patch-based Wiener filter that exploits patch redundancy for image denoising. Our framework uses both geometrically and photometrically similar patches to estimate the different filter parameters. We describe how these parameters can be accurately estimated directly from the input noisy image. Our denoising approach, designed for near-optimal performance (in the mean-squared error sense), has a sound statistical foundation that is analyzed in detail. The performance of our approach is experimentally verified on a variety of images and noise levels. The results presented here demonstrate that our proposed method is on par or exceeding the current state of the art, both visually and quantitatively. 相似文献
In view of increasing attempts for the production of renewable energy, the production of biohydrogen energy by a new mesophilic bacterium Clostridium sp. YM1 was performed for the first time in the dark fermentation. Experimental results showed that the fermentative hydrogen was successfully produced by Clostridium sp. YM1 with the highest cumulative hydrogen volume of 3821 ml/L with a hydrogen yield of 1.7 mol H2/mol glucose consumed. Similar results revealed that optimum incubation temperature and pH value of culture medium were 37 °C and 6.5, respectively. The study of hydrogen production from glucose and xylose revealed that this strain was able to generate higher hydrogen from glucose compared to that from xylose. The profile of volatile fatty acids produced showed that hydrogen generation by Clostridium sp. YM1 was butyrate-type fermentation. Moreover, the findings of this study indicated that an increase in head space of fermentation culture positively enhanced hydrogen production. 相似文献
Polysulfone (PSf) membranes were modified by either a new organic modifier (sulfonated poly(ether sulfide sulfone), SPESS) or a traditional modifier (rice hulk). These membranes were further reinforced with either multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) or silica nanoparticles. Having a dye rejection of 98.46%, the reinforced membranes increased more than 50% in strength but no change in solution flux was observed. The morphological and roughness studies were conducted using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Moreover, the PSF membranes were also characterized by differential scanning calorimetry. Modifying the membranes with organic modifier or nanofiller increases the glass transition temperature (Tg). The highest Tg and strength were observed for the PSf-SPESSMWCNT membrane. SPESS decreases surface roughness but MWCNT increases roughness on the nanoscale. All membranes show a bimodal pore size distribution, whereas the PSf-SPESS-MWCNT membrane exhibits a relatively uniform distribution of macroscopic and microscopic pores.
Time–temperature–precipitation diagram of eta phase formation was established for an Fe–Ni based superalloy by means of mathematical-thermodynamic analysis, kinetic investigation, and microstructural observation. The eta phase started to precipitate at the expense of the γ′ phase after prolonged aging. On the basis of thermodynamic prediction, the interaction between Gibbs free energy of eta phase formation and activation energy for diffusion of elements, especially titanium, was considered. The tip of TTP diagram was obtained at 817 °C, on the basis of mathematical-thermodynamic prediction, and 825–840 and 840 °C, on the basis of microstructural evolution and kinetic analysis, respectively. Kinetic investigations predicted that the eta transformation started with diffusion of Ti into Ni. This indicated that, with the progress of transformation, as n in Avrami’s equation predicts, other eta formation mechanisms such as γ′ to eta transformation, instant nucleation from the matrix, coincidence of eta lamellas, etc. increased n and activation energy. 相似文献
Considering the importance of urea–formaldehyde (UF) resins in the wood industry, this work reports on a new bio-based modification of UF resins. The use of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) is motivated by the current concerns about the effects of formaldehyde on human health. UF and urea–HMF–formaldehyde (UHF) resins were synthesized by an alkaline-acid method and characterized by FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The UHF, as a newly modified polymeric resin, was thermally characterized, and it was found that its thermo-stability and char yield was improved. In order to investigate the performance of the UHF, the preparation of particleboards with the UHF as adhesive, as well as its film formation ability have been studied. The UHF films formed on wood panels were uniform without any crack. Film formation ability of the UHF resin was improved due to the presence of more hydroxyl groups as well as furan rings of the HMF moieties resulting in more activated groups to be bonded by wood. Furthermore, formaldehyde release of the particleboards bonded by UHF was significantly lower than that of which bonded by the UF resin. Lab particleboards using the UHF resins showed higher modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and internal bond compared to boards with UF resins, as well as lower water absorption and thickness swelling. Based on these results UHF resin can be considered as a possible candidate as adhesive for wood and wood based panels. 相似文献
The main objective of the present study was to identify the periodic behavior of monthly droughts in Iran. For this purpose, monthly precipitation data obtained from 41 synoptic stations for a period of 22 years (1992–2013) were used. To identify the frequency of different severities of drought, effective drought index (EDI) was calculated at monthly scale and then spectral analysis of time series of EDI was conducted for each station. Temporal stability of these periods was also estimated using the wavelet transform. The results of spectral analysis of monthly droughts in Iran showed that periodicities in time series of Iran’s droughts are very diverse and involve periods of 2 to 22 years. Assessment of temporal stability of periodicities using the wavelet transform also indicated that there is a dominant periodic interval (significant at a level of α = 0.1) only in 8 stations of Ardebil, Iranshahr, Zahedan, Bandar Lengeh, Shahroud, Khorramabad, Oroomieh, and Shahre Kord. Studying the variability of time series of EDI in 41 stations showed that the severity of wet years is declining and the severity of droughts is increasing. It was also observed that periodic intervals were shorter at the beginning but longer at the end of time series. This suggests that the probability of incidence of drought in Iran is increasing. Additionally, a reduction can be observed in interval between incidences of droughts in Iran. This means that the interval between occurrence of droughts were longer at the beginning and then shorter at the end of times series. 相似文献
