  • robust Anisotropic diffusion
    IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 1998
    Co-Authors: Michael J. Black, David H. Marimont, Guillermo Sapiro, David J. Heeger
    Abstract:

    Relations between Anisotropic diffusion and robust statistics are described in this paper. Specifically, we show that Anisotropic diffusion can be seen as a robust estimation procedure that estimates a piecewise smooth image from a noisy input image. The "edge-stopping" function in the Anisotropic diffusion equation is closely related to the error norm and influence function in the robust estimation framework. This connection leads to a new "edge-stopping" function based on Tukey's biweight robust estimator that preserves sharper boundaries than previous formulations and improves the automatic stopping of the diffusion. The robust statistical interpretation also provides a means for detecting the boundaries (edges) between the piecewise smooth regions in an image that has been smoothed with Anisotropic diffusion. Additionally, we derive a relationship between Anisotropic diffusion and regularization with line processes. Adding constraints on the spatial organization of the line processes allows us to develop new Anisotropic diffusion equations that result in a qualitative improvement in the continuity of edges.

  • calculation of radiation forces exerted on a uniaxial Anisotropic sphere by an off axis incident gaussian beam
    Optics Express, 2011
    Co-Authors: Qingchao Shang
    Abstract:

    Using the theory of electromagnetic scattering of a uniaxial Anisotropic sphere, we derive the analytical expressions of the radiation forces exerted on a uniaxial Anisotropic sphere by an off-axis incident Gaussian beam. The beam's propagation direction is parallel to the primary optical axis of the Anisotropic sphere. The effects of the permittivity tensor elements e(t) and e(z) on the axial radiation forces are numerically analyzed in detail. The two transverse components of radiation forces exerted on a uniaxial Anisotropic sphere, which is distinct from that exerted on an isotropic sphere due to the two eigen waves in the uniaxial Anisotropic sphere, are numerically studied as well. The characteristics of the axial and transverse radiation forces are discussed for different radii of the sphere, beam waist width, and distances from the sphere center to the beam center of an off-axis Gaussian beam. The theoretical predictions of radiation forces exerted on a uniaxial Anisotropic sphere are hoped to provide effective ways to achieve the improvement of optical tweezers as well as the capture, suspension, and high-precision delivery of Anisotropic particles.
