A fundamental problem in signal processing is to estimate signal from noisy observations. This is usually formulated as an optimization problem. Optimizations based on variational lower bound and minorization-maximization have been widely used in machine learning research, signal processing, and statistics. In this paper, we study iterative algorithms based on the conjugate function lower bound (CFLB) and minorization-maximization ( MM) for a class of objective functions. We propose a generalized version of these two algorithms and show that they are equivalent when the objective function is convex and differentiable. We then develop a CFLB/MM algorithm for solving the MAP estimation problems under a linear Gaussian observation model. We modify this algorithm for wavelet-domain image denoising. Experimental results show that using a single wavelet representation the performance of the proposed algorithms makes better than that of the bishrinkage algorithm which is arguably one of the best in recent publications. Using complex wavelet representations, the performance of the proposed algorithm is very competitive with that of the state-of-the-art algorithms. Copyright (c) 2008.

The article discusses the general issues of implementing pipelined and iterative algorithms. These are typical solutions for engineering algorithms implemented in hardware like reprogrammable systems. The authors focused on the implementation of such algorithms in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) circuits. Key aspects and advantages of pipelined processing were discussed. The focus was on an example CORDIC algorithm. Analyses of the iterative implementation using the ALTERA_CORDIC library were performed. Key parameters such as frequency and circuit occupancy were measured. Also, the obtained results were compared with the exact values - the errors were determined. Realizations based on 8-, 12- and 16-bits of fractional in fixed-position notation were analyzed.

This paper introduces a general formulation of constrained iterative restoration algorithms in which deterministic and/or statistical information about the undistorted signal and statistical information about the noise are directly incorporated into the iterative procedure. This a priori information is incorporated into the restoration algorithm by what we call "soft" or statistical constraints. Their effect on the solution depends on the amount of noise on the data; that is, the constraint operator is "turned off" for noiseless data. The development of the new iterative algorithm is based on results from regularization techniques for stabilizing ill-posed problems.

This paper studies iterative distributed algorithms for real-time available transfer capability (ATC) assessment in energy management systems of multiarea power systems. Since ATC calculations can be modeled as a special nonlinear optimal power-flow problem, iterative decomposition-coordination approaches based on constrained augmented Lagrangian methods can be applied. One special distributed scheme, called the auxiliary problem principle method, will be studied for distributed ATC assessment in this paper. A computation framework of this distributed algorithm is investigated. System partition with nonoverlapping and boundary sub-systems will also be studied. Simulations of several IEEE test systems will be conducted to validate the feasibility and the correctness of this distributed ATC. In addition, the real-time monitoring and reaction mechanism of this distributed algorithm will also be demonstrated by numerical experiments.

The input-queued switch architecture is widely used in Internet routers due to its ability to run at very high line speeds. A central problem in designing an input-queued switch is the scheduling algorithm that decides which packets to transfer from ingress ports to egress ports in a given timeslot. It is desirable that such algorithms be iterative (so as to be pipelineable), distributed (allowing flexibility in hardware implementation) and are able to deliver high performance (in terms of throughput and delay). In practice, implementable algorithms have so far had limited success in combining all of the above properties. For example, the popular iSLIP algorithm is known to perform suboptimally, but it is commercially deployed mainly because it is iterative and distributed. The main contribution of this paper is the design and systematic analysis of two algorithms which, to the best of our knowledge, are the first high-performance iterative and distributed scheduling algorithms with possibility of efficient implementation. We first present an iterative, distributed and low-delay maximal throughput algorithm based on the celebrated "auction algorithm". This algorithm can be seen as a natural extension of iSLIP when queue-size information is allowed to be exchanged. The standard auction algorithm can take an unbounded number of iterations to converge in the worst case. However we show that under admissible Bernoulli i.i.d. traffic, our algorithm takes O(n 2 ) iterations, where n is the number of ingress/egress ports in the switch. Moreover for a switch with finite buffer-size, the algorithm allows for a graceful trade-off between running time and performance, which we verify by representative simulation results. Next, we propose and analyze a throughput-optimal, iterative and distributed scheduling algorithm influenced by Max-product belief propagation. Recently the problem of efficient transmission over multi-hop wireless networks has been formulated as that of findi

A comparison is made of techniques of parallelization applied to iterative and recursive algorithms. These algorithms are analyzed considering three criteria to generate schedules. These schedules associated with a Boolean network model, allow the detection of communication conflicts. To reduce conflict possibility, the third criterion is proposed to take into consideration the communication constraints and their influence on the multiprocessor architecture.< >

The use of parallel computing is gaining increasing popularity in geographic information systems applications. There exists a class of spatial analysis algorithms that are based on local computation and are single step, hence leading to simple and efficient parallel code. For another class of algorithms it is not possible to make any assumption about the locality of computation, for example when extracting complex or global terrain features, and a number of iteration may be necessary to satisfy a convergence criteria, giving rise to non-local iterative algorithms. An example is the algorithm to extract drainage basins from digital terrain models. Despite the increasing difficulties there is an interest in parallelising non-local iterative algorithms. In this paper we present and compare different approaches to the parallelisation of non-local iterative algorithms on a workstation network using the Linda model of parallel programming.

iterative deconvolution algorithms exhibit increased ringing artifacts at higher number of iterations. Quantitative image analysis techniques such as optical flow algorithms are sensitive to these artifacts. We propose to use an image quality metric to identify the terminal step of iterative restoration algorithms. Frequency based metrics have difficulties in distinguishing the ringing artifacts from the image features. Spatial analysis techniques require extensive processing making them unsuitable for real-time image quality measurement as needed in iterative image restoration. We propose a novel ringing metric using binary morphological operators and demonstrate the method on the images of random cotton fibers acquired using white light confocal microscope.
