Parametric Level-sets Enhanced To Improve Reconstruction (PaLEnTIR)

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Ege Ozsar, Misha Kilmer, Eric Miller, Eric de Sturler, Arvind Saibaba | Summary: In this paper, we consider the restoration and reconstruction of piecewise constant objects in two and three dimensions using PaLEnTIR, a significantly enhanced Parametric level set (PaLS) model relative to the current state-of-the-art. The […]
