发明名称 DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING WITH IMPROVED MAPPING
摘要 A method of performing a signal enhancement operation on a digital input signal is described. The method produces a best estimate of a true signal which the digital input signal is assumed to represent. The method involves deriving a plurality of candidate mappings, each defining a mapping between the signal domain of the digital input signal and an alternative optimisation domain, each signal in the signal domain corresponding to a set of optimisation parameters in the optimisation domain. For each candidate mapping, an indicator of the quality of the candidate mapping is calculated an a set of optimisation parameters in the optimisation domain of the candidate mapping is generated, the set of optimisation parameters re resenting an enhanced signal in that domain. The highest-quality mapping is then selected in dependence on the calculated indicators, and the set of optimisation parameters generated for the selected mapping is selected. The selected mapping is applied to the selected set of optimisation parameters to produce an enhanced digital signal. The method finds application in a variety of signal processing fields including image processing, and is applicable for exmple, to image processing tasks such as image enhancement or image reconstruction.
