In this paper we introduce an efficient algorithm for the multiplication of Pauli numbers. The direct multiplication of two Pauli numbers requires 64 real multiplications and 56 real additions. More effective solutions still do not exist. We show how to compute a product of the Pauli numbers with 24 conventional multiplications, 8 multiplications by 1/2 and 56 real additions.

We consider the linear time-dependent Schrodinger equation with a time-dependent smooth potential on an unbounded domain. A Galerkin spectral method with a tensor-product Hermite basis is used as a discretization in space. Discretizing the resulting ODE for the Hermite expansion coefficients involves the computation of the action of the Galerkin matrix on a vector in each time step. We propose a fast algorithm for the direct computation of this matrix-vector product without actually assembling the matrix itself. The costs scale linearly in the size of the basis. Together with the application of a hyperbolically reduced basis, this reduces the computational effort considerably and helps cope with the infamous curse of dimensionality. The application of the fast algorithm is limited to the case of the potential being significantly smoother than the solution. The error analysis is based on a binary tree representation of the three-term recurrence relation for the one-dimensional Hermite functions. The fast algorithm constitutes an efficient tool for schemes involving the action of a matrix due to spectral discretization on a vector, and it is also applicable in the context of spectral approximations for linear problems other than the Schrodinger equation.

It was recently demonstrated that one can perform fast nonlocal means (NLM) denoising of one-dimensional (1-D) signals using a method called lifting. The cost of lifting is independent of the patch length, which dramatically reduces the run-time for large patches. Unfortunately, it is difficult to directly extend lifting for NLM denoising of images. To bypass this, the authors proposed a separable approximation in which the image rows and columns are filtered using lifting. The overall algorithm is significantly faster than NLM, and the results are comparable in terms of PSNR. However, the separable processing often produces vertical and horizontal stripes in the image. This problem was previously addressed using a bilateral filter-based postsmoothing, which was effective in removing some of the stripes. We demonstrate that stripes can be mitigated in the first place simply by involving the neighboring rows (or columns) in the filtering. In other words, we use a two-dimensional (2-D) search (similar to NLM), while still using 1-D patches (as in the previous proposal). The innovation is in the observation that one can use lifting for performing 2-D searches. The proposed approach produces artifact-free images, whose quality and PSNR are comparable to NLM, while being significantly faster. (C) 2017 SPIE and IS&T

We develop local regularization methods for ill-posed linear inverse problems governed by general Fredholm integral operators. The methods are executed as filtering algorithms which are simple to implement and computationally efficient for a large class of problems. We establish a convergence theory and give convergence rates for such methods, and illustrate their computational speed in numerical tests for inverse problems in geomagnetic exploration and imaging.

In this paper, we consider a natural extension of the edge-preserving bilateral filter for vector-valued images. The direct computation of this non-linear filter is slow in practice. We demonstrate how a fast algorithm can be obtained by first approximating the Gaussian kernel of the bilateral filter using raised-cosines, and then using Monte Carlo sampling. We present simulation results on color images to demonstrate the accuracy of the algorithm and the speedup over the direct implementation.

Pattern matching is a fundamental technique in image processing. The majority of improvements that have been proposed in the literature are geared toward small-to mid-size templates and images. The rapidly increasing resolution and size of images demand a more efficient template-matching algorithm. The main focus of this paper is to address this problem by proposing a novel template-matching algorithm using partial Fourier spectrum (PFS) components as its feature set. It is shown that regardless of the content of the template in terms of correlation in spatial domain, the use of PFS components results in a smooth error surface, which facilitates the evaluation of the region of interest by predicting the error change within the foreseeable distance. It is also shown that this approach generates a broad global minimum area around the best match, which is on the order of the size of the template. Based on these characteristics, three algorithms are developed and the performance of the algorithms is analyzed through extensive mathematical analysis and experimental simulations. The experimental results, generated using over 13 000 image/template pairs, indicate that the proposed algorithms outperform the most efficient algorithms currently available in the literature by over an order of magnitude.

Walsh-Haar function system that was first introduced by us is a new kind of function systems, and has a good global / local property. This function system is called Walsh ordering function system since its generation kernel functions belong to Walsh ordering Walsh function system. We worked out a recursive property of the matrix WHKRm+1 corresponding to the first (KRm+1) Walsh-Haar functions in Walsh-Haar function system, and proved that Walsh-Haar function system is perfect and orthogonal similar to Walsh function system and Haar function system. Thus, discrete Walsh-Haar transformation (DW-HT) is an orthogonal transformation that can be widely used in signal processing. In this paper, using the recursive property of the matrix WHKRm+1 and the fast algorithm of discrete Walsh transformation in Walsh ordering, we have designed a fast algorithm of Walsh ordering (k, k-1) type DW-HT based on the bisection technique. As one of its applications, we use it to detect image edges. Compare with some edge-detecting methods, the method in this paper detects more details of image edge. The idea and method used to design the fast algorithm in this paper can be used to design fast algorithms of other ordering (k, k-1) type DW-HTs and other discrete orthogonal transformations.

View-interpolation-based refocusing achieves realistic quality for sparse light fields but requires lots of computation. In this paper, we aim to reduce the computation load while maintaining the superior refocusing quality. The idea is to interpolate only few views for infocused regions and to perform refocusing on downsampled pixels for defocused area. This is achieved by a proposed block-based refocusing algorithm which consists of multi-level refocusing mode decision and timing-based block merging. For each variable-size block, the former chooses the fastest downsampling mode given that the distortion is negligible based on a localized filter response analysis. Then, the latter determines the fastest quadtree block partition by minimizing the timing cost which is accurately estimated for each block. Experimental results show that a 10x speedup on average is achieved for realistic refocusing. Also, the computation time becomes comparable to the conventional fast depth-dependent blurring which has serious boundary artifacts.

The single-source equivalence principle algorithm has been proposed as an efficient solution for analyzing large array structures. However, due to the discretization error of the identity operator, the accuracy of single-source equivalence principle algorithm is not good. In this paper, a single-source tangential equivalence principle algorithm is proposed to improve the accuracy by using the tangential field projection scheme. Based on this scheme and extinction theorem, a new relation between equivalence electric current and magnetic current can be established which has more accurate discretization. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the single-source equivalence principle algorithm can be derived from one type of single-source tangential equivalence principle algorithm. Numerical examples are designed to demonstrate the accuracy improvement of the proposed method.
