SIGNAL ENCODING AND RECONSTRUCTION USING PIXONS

摘要

The method identifies a pixon (10), a fundamental and indivisible unit of information, and a pixon basis, which represents the smallest number of cells of arbitrary shape or position required to fit the data, representing the minimum degrees of freedom necessary to specify the image. The goodness-of-fit (6) is determined according to the Maximum Residual Likelihood (MRL) statistic or a similar chi-squared statistic.
