5 Preface This monograph is an outgrowth of the authors' recent research on the development of algorithms for several low-level vision problems using artificial neural networks. Specific problems considered are static and motion stereo, computation of optical flow, and deblurring an image. From a mathematical point of view, these inverse problems are ill-posed according to Hadamard. Researchers in computer vision have taken the "regularization" approach to these problems, where one comes up with an appropriate energy or cost function and finds a minimum. Additional constraints such as smoothness, integrability of surfaces, and preservation of discontinuities are added to the cost function explicitly or implicitly. Depending on the nature of the inversion to be performed and the constraints, the cost function could exhibit several minima. Optimization of such nonconvex functions can be quite involved. Although progress has been made in making techniques such as simulated annealing computationally more reasonable, it is our view that one can often find satisfactory solutions using deterministic optimization algorithms. In this monograph, we present deterministic optimization algorithms using artificial neural networks of the Amari-Hopfield type for several lowlevel vision problems. For each one of these problems, we have identified appropriate constrained cost functions. For instance, features based on estimated first derivatives and Gabor wavelets are used for defining the cost function used in stereo matching. A cost function using features based on principal curvatures is defined for computation of optical flow. For the motion stereo problem, the cost function used for static stereo is extended to multiple frames, leading to a recursive solution. Subsequently, the results of minimizing these cost functions are presented for several synthetic and real images. Practical issues such as the effects of spatial quantization, detection of occluding pixels, choice of window size used for estimation of derivative, and detection of motion discontinuities are discussed in detail. Thus, the emphasis is on engineering the artificial neural networks for several imagerelated problems. Some of the algorithms presented in this monograph have already been implemented in VLSI hardware by Professor B. Sheu and his students at the University of Southern California. Optical implementations of image deblurring and stereo matching algorithms have been investigated

6 viii Preface by Professor B.K. Jenkins and his students. It is our hope that this monograph serves as a practical book for engineers and scientists interested in exploiting the computational power of artificial neural networks for image processing and computer vision problems. During the last five years, we have been tremendously inspired and influenced by many of our distinguished colleagues at the University of Southern California. In particular, we would like to thank Professor M.A. Arbib, Director of the Center for Neural Engineering, for his unbridled enthusiasm and leadership in neural-related research activities in USC. We would like to acknowledge the profound influence Professor C. von der Malsburg has had on the work reported here and subsequent work the second author has done with Dr. B.S. Manjunath. We would also like to thank Professor B.A. Kosko for his dynamic and thought-provoking interactions and his continued encouragement to complete this work. We would like to thank Dean L.M. Silverman, Dr. J.M. Mendel, Dr. A.A. Sawchuk, Dr. B.K. Jenkins, Dr. B. Sheu, Dr. A. Weber, Dr. B.S. Manjunath, Ms. Linda Varilla, and Ms. Delsa Tan for their encouragement, helpful discussions, and assistance. The first author would also like to thank Dr. Robert Hecht-Nielsen, Dr. Robert L. North, Mr. Todd Gutshow, Dr. Robert Means, Mr. Richard Crawshaw, Mr. Chris Platt, and Ms. Sherri Mieth of HNC for their advice, support and help. Thanks are also due to the editorial staff at Springer-Verlag for their encouragement and patience during the preparation of this monograph. Finally, this work would not have been completed without the support of our families. The research reported in this monograph was supported by the AFOSR Grant and by the Center for Integration of Optical Computing, which was supported by the AFOSR Contract F C-007 and the AFOSR Grant San Diego, California Los Angeles, California Yi-Tong Zhou Rama Chellappa
