Robust Adaptive Data Encoding and Restoration

Abstract

This is the final report for NASA cooperative agreement and covers the period from 01 October, 1997 to 11 April, 2000. The research during this period was performed in three primary, but related, areas. 1. Evaluation of integrated information adaptive imaging. 2. Improvements in memory utilization and performance of the multiscale retinex with color restoration (MSRCR). 3. Commencement of a theoretical study to evaluate the non-linear retinex image enhancement technique. The research resulted in several publications, and an intellectual property disclosure to the NASA patent council in May, 1999.
