Computations in Image Reconstruction and Restoration (Invited Minisymposium)

This minisymposium is concerned with iterative methods for the solution of certain large ill-posed inverse problems, where the solution may not depend continuously on the data. The particular application topics considered in these lectures concern image reconstruction and restoration computations. However, much of the studies of theoretical, algorithmic, and parallel implementation details for such image processing computetions also apply to other ill-posed inverse problems in science and engineering.

The speakers will discuss FFT and other transform-based preconditioners for conjugate gradient methods, spatially variant blur, total variation approaches, and parallelization of the algorithms. Highly specialized iterative solvers that exploit the structure of the problem and the parallel computing platform would appear to be the most viable candidates for these diverse, large scale image reconstruction and restoration problems.
