Patent ID: 7272265

Claim:
A method for enchancing an image implemented on a digital processing device, comprising the steps of: associating actual image data with a grip of points; generating an approximation to the actual data at the points using a set of differential approximating functional wavelets to produce a DAF-wavelet approximated image; adding points to enhance the approximated image using period data extension so that a value of a largest added point does not exceed the largest known value of a largest actual data value and a value of a lowest added point are not less than a value of the lowest know input data value; minimizing boundary discontinuities using well-tempered DAF-wavelets; filtering out the noise by using a well-tempered DAF-wavelet-low-band-pass-filter to approximate the total data set; calculating a disorder parameter as a function of the DAF wavelet parameters, where a change in the disorder parameter as a function of the DAF-wavelet parameters is used as an indicator for the optimum well-tempered DAF-wavelet-low-band-pass-filter to produce a boundary corrected, enhanced and denoised refined approximate image.
