Motion picture restoration
This dissertation presents algorithms for restoring some of the major corruptions observed in archived film or video material. The two principal problems of impulsive distortion (Dirt and Sparkle or Blotches) and noise degradation are considered. There is also an algorithm for suppressing the …

Estimation theoretical image restoration
… developed an extensive study to evaluate image restoration from a single image, colored or monochromatic. Using a mixture of Gaussian and Poisson noise process, we derived an objective function to estimate the unknown object and point spread function (psf) parameters. We have found that, without …

Belowground success: Collembola as indicators of restoration progress following active and passive restoration
… by human land uses and exploitation, ecological restoration is an increasingly essential topic in the field of conservation. In South Africa, a predominantly semi-arid country, invasive tree species negatively impact the limited water resources by reducing runoff and disrupting water related …

Peatland Afforestation: Effects and Restoration
… important peatland, the ecological outcomes of restoration interventions, and the implications for conservation management and policy. Using a combination of comparative global assessments, long-term species monitoring, and large-scale experimental restoration trials, the research provides new …

Heathland Restoration after Mineral Extraction
Restoration Ecology has been developed over the last 40 years in efforts to better understand how to restore, recreate or reclaim land damaged by human activities. Lowland heath is one of the more difficult habitats to recreate due to the complicated interactions of soil chemistry and plant …

Dentin Remineralization Around Ceramir Restoration
… in remineralization of dentin around root caries restorations. MATERIALS & METHODS: 45 permanent intact teeth were embedded in self-cured dental acrylic resin to expose buccal or lingual surfaces. The buccal/lingual surfaces were wet ground with carbide paper, final polishing were accomplished …

The Image Restoration of BP
… study was guided by relevant literature in image restoration theory, framing theory, and the situational crisis communication theory. Then, a qualitative content analysis of BP press releases, commericals, and newspaper articles highlighted the relationship between the image restoration strategies …

Optimization Techniques for Image Restoration
… based models were used to solve the image restoration problem as these models can simultaneously remove noise, preserve edges and restore lost information. Specifically, numerical schemes were developed and tested for denoising via nonstandard diffusion that are more computationally …

Microvascular strategies for damage restoration
Autonomous repair of synthetic materials has previously been demonstrated by the incorporation of biomimetic microvascular networks within structural polymers and polymer composites. Internal networks of channels act as pathways for mass transport of liquid healing agents to damage regions that …

Lessons learned from urban river restoration projects: application of restoration treatments on the Los Angeles River.
… the Los Angeles River. Alternative urban river restoration treatments have been successful at using flow-regime management, to return many ecosystem services to riparian ecosystems. Additional objectives were to compare 1.) costs and 2.) ecosystem service restoration success between eight main …

Restoration of Inclusive Leadership in Somalia
Somalia is rebuilding but is confronted by the lingering effects of a prolonged civil war that has resulted in instability, civil unrest, a weakened economy, recurring droughts leading to famine and death, and widespread insecurity. In addition, the attainment of an inclusive Somalia is also …

Deep Learning For Microscopic Image Restoration
… as excellent candidates for several image restoration tasks. Accordingly, in the first part of this work, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Swin Transformer based methods were proposed for restoring SR-SIM images with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The experimental results show …
