The following video spread up and down the MATLAB Math team's hallway like wildfire yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywWBy6J5gz8 I said there was some room for improvement because I thought the last 20 seconds or so of the algorithm could be optimized away. However, math developer Bobby informed me that those last few dance steps are necessary to [...]

Last year I posted a few times about the "Jähne test pattern," something that readers then told me was called a zone plate. This is a radial sinusoid pattern with low frequency in the middle of the image and high frequency toward the edges: In my 02-Jul-2012 post, Filtering fun, I used the zone plate [...]

MathWorks shipped R2012a right on schedule earlier this month. (Normally, the "a" release ships in March and the "b" release ships in September.) There's a lot to look at in the new release. Today I'll summarize the enhancements in the Image Processing Toolbox, the Computer Vision System Toolbox, and the Image Acquisition Toolbox. Image Processing [...]

This week I want to highlight a new article on mathworks.com called "Applying Modern PDE Techniques to Digital Image Restoration," by Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb of the University of Cambridge. Dr. Schönlieb describes PDE-based inpainting, or image interpolation, used to reconstruct missing parts of images. Her inpainting work began on a project to restore some 14th-century Viennese [...]
