Nonlinear Multiscale Methods for Image and Signal Analysis (IN3200) (2h, 4 ECTS)

Filtering approaches are a fundamental tool in digital image and signal processing. Classical, linear filtering techniques, e.g. Fourier-based filterings, are well understood: One changes the respresentation of the input data via a linear transform, manipulates the coefficients in the new represenation, and finally inverts that transform. Novel nonlinear filtering techniques coming from variational methods (and related approaches) give rise to a novel definition of transformations, multiscale decompositions, and filterings, which we will discuss in this lecture.

In more detail, the lecture will cover the following topics:

  • Multiscale image and signal decompositions using variational methods, scale space flows, and inverse scale space flows
  • Discretization and Implementation of the above approaches
  • Convergence properties of the above approaches
  • Filtering strategies arising from the above approaches
  • Relation of the approaches among each other
  • Relation to a generalized notion of (nonlinear) singular vectors
  • The connection of the inverse scale space flow to optimization techniques
  • Applications in image and signal processing

This lecture is a mathematics as well as a computer science lecture.


News:

  • 24.07: Lecture slides in which the gradient flow solution on singular vectors is complete (=cases by case).
  • 22.07: Added a missing assumption to the solution of sheet 8.
  • 14.07: A final update of the lecture slides, the overview slides, and the solution to the last exercise sheet are online. The overview slides can help you prepare for the exam.
  • 08.07: New lecture slides and the eighth exercise sheet are online.
  • 06.07: The solution to the seventh exercise sheet is online.
  • There will be no lecture on 30.06. Instead, there will be hands-on-code sessions in room 02.05.014. on Monday 6th of July at 2pm and after the lecture on Tuesday 7th of July at 4pm.
  • 24.06: New lecture slides online.
  • 22.06: A new exercise sheet is online.
  • 22.06: Programming solution of Björn for visualizing the subdifferential of TV is online.
  • 19.06: New lecture slides and the solution to the sixth exercise sheet are online. As a homework for this week, try to implement the spectral decomposition based on the variational approach. We will discuss this in more details in the next lecture and will do a hands-on code session in 2,5 weeks from now.
  • 09.06: New lecture slides and the sixth exercise sheet are online.
  • 02.06: New lecture slides are online. Also, I put code for generating 1d and 2d TV singular vectors online. There is no homework sheet this week. I recommend going over the lecture slides again to familiarize yourself with the new definitions of singular vectors, ground states, and the properties of 1-homogeneous functionals.
