The book uses a consistent methodology to examine inverse problems such as: noise removal; restoration by deconvolution; 2D or 3D reconstruction in X-ray, tomography or microwave imaging; reconstruction of the surface of a 3D object using X-ray tomography or making use of its shading; reconstruction of the surface of a 3D landscape based on several satellite photos; super-resolution; motion estimation in a sequence of images; separation of several images mixed using instruments with different sensitivities or transfer functions; and much more.
Ali Mohammad-Djafari, BSc, MSc, PhD, works at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and Laboratoire des Signaux et Systèmes (L2S). He is currently director of research and his main scientific interests are in developing new probabilistic methods based on Bayesian inference, information theory and maximum entropy approaches for inverse problems in general, and more specifically in imaging and vision.
