Statistical Modeling and Estimation of Simultaneous Degradations in Digital Images

In digital still camera and medical imaging devices there is a trend to increase the image resolution, to use shorter acquisition times and lower radiation doses. This causes many challenges for the processing techniques in the devices. In this project, we will develop statistical models and estimation techniques for multiple simultaneous degradations in images, in order to further improve existing image reconstruction techniques. We therefore consider the imaging pipeline as a whole and jointly optimize the processing techniques for the considered degradations.
