Advanced algorithms for super-resolution optics for tactical sensors Navy SBIR FY2009.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2009.1 Topic No.: N091-043 Topic Title: Advanced algorithms for super-resolution optics for tactical sensors Proposal No.: N091-043-0253 Firm: Level Set Systems 1058 Embury Street Pacific Palisades, California 90272-2501 Contact: Susan Chen Phone: (310) 573-9339 Web Site: levelset.com Abstract: We shall develop state-of-the-art algorithms and software to rapidly restore degraded videos and images where the nature of the degradation is not well detailed. We shall use revolutionary new mathematical techniques involving total variation and nonlocal total variation blind restoration and oversampling, compressive sensing, Bregman iteration, graph cuts and fast nonlocal filtering. Benefits: We shall develop a suite of software packages using these techniques with numerous applications in military (identification, targeting, surveillance, environmental monitoring, commercial (mobile phones, digital cameras) and medical fields (super-resolve 3D MRI images, skull stripping for MRI brain images).
