Ignace LORIS (Coordinator)ECTS credits
5
Language(s) of instruction

Course content
1) Direct and inverse problems in imaging (a direct problem in X-ray imaging and the structure of DNA, the phase problem as an example of an inverse problem, the alternating projections algorithm, ...).
2) Time and band-limited functions (Paley-Wiener theorem, the problem of time-frequency concentration, properties of Slepian functions, out of band extrapolation, ...)
3) Regularization of inverse problems (pseudo-inverse, regularization methods, deconvolution, ...)
4) Medical imaging and the Radon transform (the Radon transform, properties, the inverse Radon transform, ...)
5) Discrete wavelets (the cosine transform, Haar wavelets, orthogonal wavelets, filter banks, biorthogonal wavelets, applications, ...).
6) Wavelets in L2(R) (multiresolution analysis, wavelet decomposition, construction of a multiresolution analysis, properties and numerical computation of wavelet functions, biorthogoanl wavelets, ...).
Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)
This course offers an introduction to data inversion methods and their application to imaging and other problems.
At the end of this course a student will be capable of
1) giving some examples of ill-posed inverse problems
2) regularising ill-posed inverse problems
3) describing several ways of inverting the Radon transform
4) identifying the properties of discrete and continuous wavelet transforms
