Synopsis

Finally, Moulin considers the problem of forming radar images under a diffuse-target statistical model. His estimation approach includes application of the maximum-likelihood principle and a regularization procedure based on wavelet representations. In addition, he shows that the radar imaging problem can be seen as a problem of inference on the wavelet coefficients of an image corrupted by additive noise. The aim of this special issue is to provide a forum in which researchers from the fields of mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering who work on problems of significance to computer vision can better understand each other. I hope that the papers included in this special issue will provide a clearer picture of the role of wavelet transforms and the principles of multiresolution analysis. I wish to thank many people for their contributions and assistance in this project: Gerhard Ritter, the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, who invited me to organize this issue and who provided patient guidance; the researchers who submitted papers for consideration and others who have contributed to the explosion of growth in this area; the reviewers, who provided careful and thoughtful evaluations in a timely fashion; and, finally, from these efforts, the authors of the papers selected for publication in the special issue.

Synopsis

The development of wavelet transform has provided a wealth of new mathematical results and has made possible a common ground for researchers working in a wide variety of fields, including harmonic analysis, mathematical physics, digital signal processing, image processing, and computer vision.This book presents a wide-ranging collection of perspectives on wavelets and multiresolution signal analysis by authors from a variety of disciplines. The analysis of signals and phenomena at multiple scales of resolution remains an evolving science. Thus the contributions in this book provide a snapshot of a maturing subject, where the principles of multiresolution analysis and the contributions of wavelet transforms are further distilled. The seven chapters included in this book are grouped into three general areas: image compression techniques, mathematical models and formulation, and applications in medical imaging and targe recognition. "Wavelet Theory and Application" is an edited volume of original research.
