What is an Image?
An Image is a 2-D view (projection in a specific direction ) of the surface of an object (or a scene) from the space we live-in(3D) that is formed by the light rays reflected by the object.
![Page 4: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Basics of an Image
Analogue Image(Continuous Image): Digital Image(Discrete Image): Obtained from
an analogue Image by sampling and quantization. --- Represented as A 2-Dimensional array of pixels with assigned brightness values.
Resolution: The number of Rows and Columns in an image.
The higher the resolution , the closer the digital image is to the physical world.

Mathematical Representation
Define an analogue Image(u) as a measurable ,bounded function:
Where Ω is a connected,bounded domain from ℝ2 , And ℝd is an intensity valued Range set.
In case of A Digital(Discrete) Image(I ):
For Grey Images : d=1 ; RGB images :d=3

Digital Image Processing
Image processing is a Mathematical procedure involving computer algorithms where the input is an image ,And , the output may be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image.
Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it.
![Page 7: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Some Rough Idea on Edges
Typically, an Image represents a scene containing a background and several objects.
It is common that , inside the background and in each object the values are smoothly varying, but are discontinuous or change abruptly across object boundaries (edges), thus creating large image gradients at these locations.
We define edges as the locations where the gradient | f| is large due to a discontinuity or ∇a sharp transition in the image intensity.
![Page 8: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Common Problems and Known Remedies
Noise (Unwanted information) , is a defect, occurs during the recording & communication process. Local Averaging is a simple solution. Local Median for impulse noise.
Components Extraction(Segmentation): By Properly detecting the contours (edge sets) , one can achieve this goal, but the contour finding in-general is not an easy task.

(cont.)Common Problems and Known Remedies
Deconvolution for Restoration, : Restoration attempts to reconstruct or recover an image that has been degraded by using a priori knowledge of the degradation phenomenon. g(x,y)=H(f(x,y))+n(x,y)
The main Difficulty arises when the SNR is low.The results are highly sensitive to noise ,sometimes losing the basic Structure of the image , even.
The Least Square Error Filter(wiener) is a popular Solution

Drawbacks
It is difficult to say which one is more natural approach than the other.
They rely on –Filters –Spectral Analysis –Basic Concepts of Statistics & Probability

Image Processor
Abstractly, image processing can be considered as an input-output system Q
0 → Image Processor T → Q
The input data Q0 can represent an observed
single image , and the output Q = (q1,q2,···) contains all the targeted image features.
Typical image processors(T): denoising,deblurring,segmentation, compression, or inpainting.

Current Tools of Generation
The current day sophisticated tools emerged from 3-directions. 1.Stochastic Modeling :(evolution of some random value, or system, over time) 2.Wavelets:(small waves (or) brief oscillations) 3.Partial Differential Equations
![Page 15: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why PDEs ?
PDEs are closely related to the physical world. Reasoning in a continuous Framework makes
the understanding of physical realities easier and provides the intuition to propose new models.
Main Interest in using PDEs is that the Mathematical Theory is well established.
![Page 16: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
(cont.)Why PDEs
PDEs are written in a continuous setting , referring to analogue images, and once the existence and the uniqueness have been proven , we need to discretize them in order to find a numerical solution.
Mathematical Axioms for Image transformation allow us to develop a framework for good prosperities in PDE design
Most of the methods are derived from the support of Calculus of Variations and Differential Geometry.
![Page 17: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

In computer Vision ,analyzing images at different resolutions(scale) is necessary to extract Various Descriptions of an Image. As a primitive scale-parametrization, the Gaussian convolution is attractive for its "well-behavedness":
The Gaussian is symmetric and strictly decreasing about the
mean, and therefore the weighting assigned to signal values decreases smoothly with distance.
The Gaussian convolution behaves well near the limits of the scale parameter, t, approaching the un-smoothed Image for small t, and approaching the Mean value of Image for large t.
The Gaussian is also readily differentiated and integrated.
Gaussian Smoothing[witkin]
![Page 19: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The first step in this direction is Scale Space Filtering for Smoothing
[Witkin,1983]:(Scale Space) The essential idea of this approach is to, Embed the original image in a family of derived images I(x, y, t);t≥0 obtained by convolving the original image I
0(x,y) with a Gaussian kernel
G(x,y; t) of variance t. I(x,y,t) = I
0(x, y)*G(x,y;t)
Larger values of t (the scale-space parameter), correspond to images at coarser resolutions.

Scaled Images from Gaussian convolution
For Scale parameter, t=0,1,4,16

Scale-Space
Define a multi-scale analysis(Scale Space)as a family of operators T
t;t ≥ 0
which, applied to the original image u0(x), yield
to a sequence of images u(t,x) = (T
tu
0)(x)
For simplicity, we suppose for all t ≥ 0, T
t: C∞
b(R2) → C
b(R2) where C∞
b(R2) is the
space of bounded functions having derivatives at any order.

Relating to the Heat Diffusion Equation (Linear Diffusion)
[Koenderink and Hummel ]: These one parameter family of derived (scale-space) images may equivalently be viewed as the solution of the heat diffusion equation.
It=ΔI =Ixx+Iyy (Isotropic Diffusion) with the initial condition, I(x,y,0)=I0(x, y), the original image and with no intensity loss at boundaries.
![Page 24: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Primitive Axioms for Scale Space(Linear Filters)
[Koenderink] motivates the diffusion equation formulation by stating two criteria.
1) Causality: Any feature at a coarse level of resolution is required to possess a (not necessarily unique) “cause” at a finer level of resolution although the reverse need not be true. i.e. no spurious detail should be generated when the resolution is diminished. T
0= Id and s < t, T∀ ∃

t= T

(cont.)Primitive Axioms for Scale Space
Homogeneity and Isotropy: The blurring is required to be space invariant.(?) For R, rotation in R2, (Ru)(x) = u(Rx): T
t(Ru) = RT
t(u);
The Diffusion Equation ,suits well to these two criteria , It=cΔI =c(Ixx+Iyy )
where c is a positive diffusion constant.
![Page 26: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Anisotropic diffusion for denoising [Perona & Malik,1987]: Observed that
isotropic diffusion is causing a serious damage to the visibility of Edges as diffusion progresses.
Found that , directionally dependent smoothing is the right choice for preserving edges with better Image denoising (enhancement / smoothing).
Chose, the diffusion factor c(x,y) ,in such a way that the diffusion will be relatively faster at locations of low Gradient than at the locations of High Gradients(Edges).
![Page 27: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
(cont.)Anisotropic diffusion for denoising
Now the problem of denoising becomes ,solving The second-order PDE,
Successful choices for c(x,y) have been,
![Page 28: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
(contd.)Theoretical Explanation
Associate the Second order PDE with an Energy Functional. Where Ω is the image support, and f(.)≥0 is an increasing function associated with the diffusion coefficient as Anisotropic diffusion is then shown to be an energy-dissipating process that seeks Min E(u).
![Page 29: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Flaws in second order [Whittaker]:
Since the Laplacian of an image at a pixel is zero if the image is planar in its neighborhood, these PDEs attempt to remove noise and preserve edges by approximating an observed image with a piecewise planar image.
Piecewise planar images look more natural than step images(blocky) which anisotropic diffusion uses to approximate an observed image.
This effect is visually unpleasant and is likely to cause a computer vision system to falsely recognize as edges the boundaries of different blocks that actually belong to the same smooth area in the original image.
![Page 30: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
It's extensions to fourth order
[You,Kaveh,2000]: Fourth order linear diffusion dampens oscillations at high frequencies much faster than second order diffusion.
To avoid blocky effects while achieving good tradeoff between noise removal and edge preservation.
![Page 31: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
(Cont.) Fourth Order
Consider the Energy Functional, f(.)≥0 is an increasing function f '(.)>0, so that the functional will be an increasing function with respect to the smoothness of the image as measured by |2u|. Therefore,the minimization of the functional is equivalent to smoothing the image.
![Page 32: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
(contd.)Fourth order
Min E(u) is achieved by Euler Equation ,
The Euler equation may be solved through the following gradient descent procedure:

The Alvarez-Guichard-Lions-Morel scale space theory
The remarkable work of [Alvarez et al] establishes the connection between scale space analysis and PDEs , rigorously.
Starting from a very natural filtering axiomatic (based on desired image properties) they prove that the resulting filtered image must necessarily be the viscosity solution of a PDE.
Some Basic Axioms that are very natural from Image Processing Perspective are:
![Page 37: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Viscocity solution of a 2nd order PDE
![Page 38: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
These axioms and invariance properties are quite natural from an image analysis point of view. A1 means that a coarser analysis of the original image can be deduced from a finer one without any dependence upon the original picture. A2 states a continuity assumption of Tt.A3 means that (Ttu)(x) is determined by the behaviour of u near x. A4 expresses the idea that if an image v is brighter than another image u, this ordering is preserved across scale. Finally, I1 and I2 state respectively that no a priori assumption is made on the range of the brightness and that all points are equivalent.
![Page 40: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Classical definition concerning the well-posedness of a
minimization problem or a PDE. Definition[Hadamard]:
When a minimization problem or a PDE admit a unique solution which depends continuously on the data, we say that the minimization problem or the PDE are well-posed.
If one of the following conditions: existence, uniqueness or continuity fails, we say that the minimization problem or the PDE are ill-posed.

Existence of a PDE based Filter
![Page 42: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Proof in brief
![Page 43: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Existence of a Linear Filter
Note: These theorems are very interesting since they express that the Alvarez et al theory is a very natural extension of the linear theory (Theorem 3.3.3) but also because the multi-scale axiomatic leads to new nonlinear filters (Theorem 3.3.4).
![Page 44: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Curvature dependent Non-Linear Filter

Edge-Detector from Anisotrpic Diffusion[Perona & Malik]
[Canny,1986] Edge Detector:The image is convolved with the directional derivatives of a Gaussian. u→ *( ( , ,σ))|u G x y | Requires a number of convolutions ,involve blurring And complexity of combining outputs of filters at multiple scales.
Anisotropic E.detector : The complication of multiple scale, multiple orientation filters is avoided by locally adaptive smoothing.
In this, the edges are made sharp by the diffusion process, so that edge thinning and linking are almost unnecessary.

Image Restoration The classic Model of a Restoration Problem is,
u0=Ru+η
where η stands for a white additive Gaussian noise and R is a linear operator representing the blur (usually a convolution).
Given u0, the problem(inverse) is then to
reconstruct u(x,y), the problem is ill-posed and we are only able to carry out an approximation of u.
![Page 50: State of Art PDE Based IP to BT -Vijayakrishna Rowthu](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55354b2e4a79599a7e8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The Energy Method supposing that η is a white Gaussian noise,
and according to the maximum likelihood principle, to find an approximation of u by solving the least square problem: The Minimizer (if exists) satisfies the equation,
This is an ill-posed problem as, R*R is not always one-to-one & may have small eigenvalues.

Regularisation of the problem(ill-posed)

Total Variation (L1 -) Minimization
As Laplacian Operator has very strong isotropic smoothing properties , edges are not preserved.
The Lpnorm with p = 2 of the gradient allows to remove the noise but penalizes much of the gradients(edges).
[Rudin, Osher and Fatemi]: Decrease p in order to keep as much as possible the edges.

Performance Metrics[wang, et. al]
Figure of Merit Metric (FOM): (Edge preserving measure) where N^ and N
ideal
are the total numbers of detected and original edge pixels, respectively;
di is the Euclidean distance between the ith detected edge pixel and
the nearest original edge pixel; λ is a constant typically set to 1/9. The dynamic range of FOM is between the processed image and the
ideal image.

Performance Metrics[wang, et. al]
Structural Similarity Metric(SSIM): Let x=x
i; y=y
i be the original and the test
images. This quality index models any distortion as a combination of 3 different factors: loss of correlation, luminance distortion, and contrast distortion.
The dynamic range of SIMM is [-1,1]

Performance Metrics[wang, et. al]
Mean Square Error Metric (MSE): The smaller the MSE value, the better is the denoising performance.
SNR Metric: when the denoised image has a large SNR it will be closer to the original image and will have a better quality.

Image Inpainting u
0denotes the observed(noisy or blurry) portion
of u, on a sub domain D. The goal of inpainting is to recover u on the entire image domain Ω.
A simple Geometric Model is , with blurring followed by noise degradation and spatial restriction. where K is a continuous blurring kernel (linear,shift-invariant), and η is an additive white noise field assumed to be close to Gaussian for simplicity &the information [u

(cont.)Regularity Condition E[u]
Regularity of the new Image(u) is enforced through The “energy” functionals: E[u]
Then the Image Inpainting becomes a constrained optimization problem: min E[u] over all u such that E[u
0|u] ≤ σ2
Here σ2 (variance of the white noise), is assumed to be known by proper statistical estimators.

The object-edge model [Ems
][Mumford and Shah]
An image u is understood as a combination of both the geometric feature Γ and the piecewise smooth “objects” u
i on all the
connected components Ωi of Ω \ Γ , assuming
Γ to be Lipschitz. And the smoothness of the “objects” characterized by Sobolev Norm.

(cont.)Higher-order geometric Image Models
[Esedoglu and Shen]: For large-scale inpainting problems, high-order image models which incorporate the curvature information become necessary for more faithful visual effects. Replacing length energy by Euler's elastica Energy:

Image Segmentation Images are the proper 2-D projections of the 3-D world
containing various objects. Segmentation is to identify the regions in images that
correspond to individual objects. Denote by u
0 an observed image on a 2-D Lipschitz
open and bounded domain Ω. Segmentation means finding a visually meaningful
edge set Γ that leads to a complete partition of Ω. Each connected component Ω
i of Ω\Γ should
correspond to at most one real physical object or pattern in our 3-D world, for example, the white matter in brain images.

Piecewise-smooth Mumford-Shah Model (2-phase Segmentation)
This method tries to find the segmented “objects” to have smoothly varying intensities(Homogenous Regions).
The Problem of Minimization will be,
The ideal image u(x) is segmented to u±(2-phases) by the level set function . ( )=u x u+( ) (x H ( ))+x u-( )( - (x 1 H ( ))).x

(First Stage) Denoising the regions
Assuming, both u+ and u- are C1functions up to the boundary = 0 ,Minimize the Energy ,
First, with fixed, the variation on E[u+,u-,|u
0] leads to the two Euler-Lagrange equations
for u± separately. These act as denoising operators on the homogeneous regions only,not on edge set=0

(Second stage)Contour evolution Next, keeping the functions u+ and u- fixed
and minimizing E[u+,u-,|u0] with respect to , we obtain the motion of the zero-level set with some initial guess (t=0,x). This single model, which includes both the original energy formulation And the elliptic and evolutionary PDEs ,naturally combining all three image processors —active contour, segmentation, and denoising.

Active contours without Edges(snakes)[The Kass-Witkin-Terzopoulos]
Unlike the Mumford and Shah functional, the aim is no longer to find a partition of the image but to automatically detect contours of objects,starting from a initial guess and g(s),an Edge-detector function. Working: Boundary detection consists in matching a deformable model to an image by means of energy minimization.

The first-order term makes the curve act like a membrane and the second-term makes it act like a thin plate. Setting β = 0 allows second order discontinuities as corners. The third term, the external energy, attracts the curve towards the edges of the objects. As Ω is bounded, the energy J(c) admits at least a global minimum in the Sobolev space (W 2,2(a,b))2.

In practice, to solve numerically the problem we embed the E-L conditions into a dynamical scheme by making the curve depend on an artificial parameter (the time) t ≥ 0. where c
0(q) is an initial curve surrounding
the object to be detected.

Neurons & Signal Transmission
Neurons receive information either at their dendrites or cell bodies. The axon of a nerve cell is, in general, responsible for transmitting information over a relatively long distance. Therefore, most neural pathways are made up of axons. If the axons have myelin sheaths, then the pathway appears bright white because myelin is primarily lipid. If most or all of the axons lack myelin sheaths , then the pathway will appear a darker beige color, which is generally called gray,

What is Tractography? A neural pathway(tract),
connects one part of the nervous system with another and usually consists of bundles of elongated, myelin-insulated neurons, known collectively as white matter.
Neural pathways serve to connect relatively distant areas of the brain or nervous system, compared to the local communication of grey matter.

DT-MRI[Denis Le Bihan] THE BASIC PRINCIPLES of diffusion MRI were
introduced in the mid-1980s [Taylor et al,1985]; they combined NMR imaging principles with those introduced earlier to encode molecular diffusion effects in the NMR signal by using bipolar magnetic field gradient pulses .
Molecular diffusion refers to the random translational motion of molecules, also called Brownian motion, that results from the thermal energy carried by these molecules.
These random, diffusion driven displacements molecules probe tissue structure at a microscopic scale well beyond the usual image resolution:

On HARDI data DT-MRI implicitly assumes that the diffusion is
Gaussian everywhere when estimating intra-voxel diffusion configurations where more than one single fiber direction predominates.
DTI cannot model crossing or kissing fibers but it also estimates wrong directions in the case of multiple fiber configurations
High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI) comes as an interesting alternative as it samples the diffusion signal only on the single sphere following discrete gradient directions;.
