    however,
    have not much been explored in this context so far. In our paper we introduce a novel framework for image compression that makes use of the interpolation qualities of edge-enhancing diffusion. Although this anisotropic diffusion equation with a diffusion tensor was originally proposed for image denoising,
    we show that it outperforms many other PDEs when sparse scattered data must be interpolated. To exploit this property for image compression,
    we consider an adaptive triangulation method for removing less significant pixels from the image. The remaining points serve as scattered interpolation data for the diffusion process. They can be coded in a compact way that reflects the B-tree structure of the triangulation. We supplement the coding step with a number of amendments such as error threshold adaptation,
    diffusion-based point selection,
    and specific quantisation strategies. Our experiments illustrate the usefulness of each of these modifications. They demonstrate that for high compression rates,
    our PDE-based approach does not only give far better results than the widely-used JPEG standard,
    but can even come close to the quality of the highly optimised JPEG2000 codec.}},

    to better preserve fine features of the surface. Another interesting component of our method is that the neighborhood size is not constant over the surface but adapted close to the boundaries which improves the denoising performance in those regions of the dataset. Furthermore,

The now traditional three layer architecture is extended to include a fourth Scenario layer,
    where scripts describing specific responses are selected and parameterized on the fly. A local map is maintained using available sensor data,
    and adjacent objects are combined as they are observed. This has been observed to create safer trajectories. Objects have persistence and fade if not re-observed over time. In common with behavior based approaches,
    a reactive layer is maintained containing pre-defined knee jerk responses for extreme situations. The reactive layer can inhibit outputs from above. Path planning of updated goal point outputs from the Scenario layer is performed using a fast marching method made more efficient through lifelong planning techniques. The architecture is applied to applications with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. Both simulated and open water tests are carried out to establish the performance and usefulness of the approach.}},

The inverse problem of reconstructing 3D structure from blurred images corresponds to an ``inverse diffusion{''} that is notoriously ill posed. We show how to bypass this problem by using the notion of relative blur. Given two images,
    within each neighborhood,
    the amount of diffusion necessary to transform the sharper image into the blurrier one depends on the depth of the scene. This can be used to devise a global algorithm to estimate the depth profile of the scene without recovering the deblurred image using only forward diffusion.}},

This removes the main drawback of the FFT-based approach which is a high memory consumption for geometrically complex datasets.

    our reconstruction process is guided by a global error control accomplished by computing the Hausdorff distance of selected input samples to intermediate reconstructions. The advantages of our surface reconstruction method also include a more robust surface restoration in regions where the surface folds back to itself. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.}},

For each height profile the backscattered pressure is computed by an integral equation method for interface scattering between two homogeneous media as formulated by Chan {[}IEEE Trans. Antennas Propag. 46,
    142-149 (1998)]. However,
    the seabed is inhomogeneous,
    and volume scattering is a major contributor to backscattering. The SAX99 experiments revealed that the density in the unconsolidated sediment within the first 5 mm exhibits a high spatial variation. For that reason,
    additional roughness is introduced: For each surface point a stochastic realization of the density along the vertical is generated,
    and the sediment depth at which the density has its maximum value will constitute the new height field value. The matrix of the full integral equation is reduced to a band matrix as the interaction between the point sources on the seabed is neglected from a certain range; this allows computations on long height profiles with lengths up to approximately 25 m (at 300 kHz). The equivalent roughness approach,
    combined with the band-matrix approach,
    agrees with SAX99 data at 300 kHz. (c) 2007 Acoustical Society of America.}},

This is particularly pertinent both to research and to clinical investigation and diagnosis of retinal diseases such as diabetes,
    glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. The optimal exploitation of hyperspectral imaging however,
    presents a set of challenging problems,
    including; the poorly characterised and controlled optical environment of structures within the retina to be imaged; the erratic motion of the eye ball; and the compounding effects of the optical sensitivity of the retina and the low numerical aperture of the eye. We have developed two spectral imaging techniques to address these issues. We describe first a system in which a liquid crystal tuneable filter is integrated into the illumination system of a conventional fundus camera to enable time-sequential,
    random access recording of narrow-band spectral images. Image processing techniques are described to eradicate the artefacts that may be introduced by time-sequential imaging. In addition we describe a unique snapshot spectral imaging technique dubbed IRIS that employs polarising interferometry and Wollaston prism beam splitters to simultaneously replicate and spectrally filter images of the retina into multiple spectral bands onto a single detector array. Results of early clinical trials acquired with these two techniques together with a physical model which enables oximetry map are reported.}},

Then a desired global shape deformation is obtained by reconstructing the shape corresponding to the deformed skeletal mesh. The reconstruction is based on using discrete differential coordinates. Our method preserves fine geometric details and original shape thickness because of using discrete differential coordinates and skeleton-based deformations. We also develop a new mesh evolution technique which allow us to eliminate possible global and local self intersections of the deformed mesh while preserving fine geometric details. Finally,
    we present a multi-resolution version of our approach in order to simplify and accelerate the deformation process. In addition,

    some subcarriers may be subject,to a deep fading. Adaptive techniques can be applied to mitigate this effect if the channel-state information (CSI) is available at the transmitter. In this paper,
    we study the performance of an OFDM-based communication system whose transmitter has only one bit of CSI per subcarrier,
    obtained through a low-rate feedback. Three adaptive approaches are considered to exploit such a CSI feedback: adaptive subcarrier selection; adaptive power allocation (APA); and adaptive modulation selection (AMS). Under the conditions of a constant raw data rate and perfect feedback channel,
    the performance of these approaches are analyzed and compared in terms of raw bit-error rate. It is shown that one-bit CSI feedback can greatly enhance the system performance. Moreover,
    imperfections of the feedback channel are considered,
    and their impact on the performance of these techniques is studied. It is shown that by exploiting the knowledge that the feedback channel is imperfect,
    the performance of the APA and AMS techniques can be substantially improved.}},

    we address the problem of robustness of multiuser MIMO receivers against imperfect CSI and propose a new linear technique that guarantees the robustness against CST errors with a certain selected probability. The proposed receivers are formulated as probabilistically constrained stochastic optimization problems. Provided that the CSI mismatch is Gaussian,
    each of these problems is shown to be convex and to have a unique solution. The fact that the CSI mismatch is Gaussian also enables to convert the original stochastic problems to a more tractable deterministic form and to solve them using the second-order cone programming approach. Numerical simulations illustrate an improved robustness of the proposed receivers against CSI errors and validate their better flexibility as compared with the robust multiuser MIMO receivers based on the worst case designs.}},

Recent advances in side-scan data correction are incorporated to compensate for the sonar beam pattern and motion of the acquisition platform. The corrected images are segmented using pixel-based textural features and standard classifiers. In parallel,
    the navigation of the sonar device is processed using Kalman filtering techniques. A simultaneous localization and mapping framework is adopted to improve the navigation accuracy and produce georeferenced mosaics of the segmented side-scan data. These are fused within a Markovian framework and two fusion models are presented. The first uses a voting scheme regularized by an isotropic Markov random field and is applicable when the reliability of each information source is unknown. The Markov model is also used to inpaint regions where no final classification decision can be reached using pixel level fusion. The second model formally introduces the reliability of each information source into a probabilistic model. Evaluation of the two models using both synthetic images and real data from a large scale survey shows significant quantitative and qualitative improvement using the fusion approach.}},

    when combined with decoding of the recorded image,
    can enable greatly reduced sensitivity to imaging aberrations. The application of wavefront coding has potential in the fields of microscopy,
    where increased instantaneous depth of field is advantageous and in thermal imaging where it can enable the use of simple,
    low-cost,
    light-weight lens systems. It has been previously shown that wavefront coding can alleviate optical aberrations and extend the depth of field of incoherent imaging systems whilst maintaining diffraction-limited resolution. It is particularly useful in controlling thermally induced defocus aberrations in infrared imaging systems. These improvements in performance are subject to a range of constraints including the difficulty in manufacturing an asymmetrical phase mask and significant noise amplification in the digitally restored image. We describe the relation between the optical path difference (OPD) introduced by the phase mask and the magnitude of noise amplification in the restored image. In particular there is a trade between the increased tolerance to optical aberrations and reduced signal-to-noise ratio in the recovered image. We present numerical and experimental studies based of noise amplification with the specific consideration of a simple refractive infrared imaging system operated in an ambient temperature varying from 0degreesC to +50 C. These results are used to delineate the design and application envelope for which infrared imaging can benefit from wavefront coding.}},

Traditional optical system design enhances the resolution of incoherent imaging systems by optical-only manipulations or some type of post-processing of an image that has been already recorded. A brief introduction to recent techniques to increase the depth of field by use of hybrid optical/digital imaging system is reported and its performance is compared with a conventional optical system. This technique,
    commonly named wavefront coding,
    employs an aspherical pupil plane element to encode the incident wavefront in such a way that the image recorded by the detector can be accurately restored over a large range of defocus. As reported in earlier work,
    this approach alleviates the effects of defocus and its related aberrations whilst maintaining diffraction-limited resolution. We explore the control of third order aberrations (spherical aberration,
    coma,
    astigmatism,
    and Petzval field curvature) through wavefront coding. This method offers the potential to implement diffraction-limited imaging systems using simple and low-cost lenses. Although these performances are associated with reductions in signal-to-noise ratio of the displayed image,
    the jointly optimised optical/digital hybrid imaging system can meet some specific requirements that are impossible to achieve with a traditional approach.}},

    this is achieved without the introduction of zeros into the modulation transfer function and deconvolution can restore the transfer function to that of a diffraction-limited imager. The performance of the derived combined amplitude and phase filter is illustrated through the variation of its axial intensity versus spherical aberration.

We derive the location of the boundary surface and the magnitude of the errors in field amplitude that can be expected as a result of applying the Fresnel and Fraunhofer approximations. These expressions are exact for a circular aperture and are extended to give the minimum limit on the domain of validity of the Fresnel approximation for plane arbitrary apertures.}},
