Vector Space Projections (VSP) for Signal and Image Processing

Abstract

According to the fundamental theorem of VSP the sequence of alternating projections onto m-intersecting convex sets converges to a point of the intersection. VSP have found numerous applications in signal and image processing problems. To solve a signal/image design/estimation problem using VSP, constraints sets that capture the spefications/known information have to be defined and the projections onto them have to be computed. Alternating projections are then used to find a point in the intersection of these sets. This point since it satisfies simultaneously all design constraints is the desired solution.

In this talk we shall briefly review the theory of VSP and then describe two applications of VSP. First, in the design of finite impulse response (FIR) filters/filter-banks and second, in the recovery of compressed images/video.

Time and Place: Wed., Apr. 5, 3:30-4:30 pm in 4610 Engr. Hall.
