  • Abstract
    For the linear imaging model g = Hf + n, the maximum a posteriori (MAP) restoration method is compared to the maximum entropy (ME) method defined by maximizing f_{T} \\ln f subject to \\parallel g - Hf\\parallel^{2} = \\parallel n\\parallel^{2} . It is shown that the ME solution is a member of the set of MAP solutions defined by a set of a priori probability densities. The numerical methods developed for MAP restoration can be applied to ME restoration. The importance of the a priori probability distribution for the MAP restoration is demonstrated. Examples of ME restoration with the new method are shown and compared to previous results.
