Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The primary objective of this Special Issue aligns with the proceedings of the ‘2023 9th International Conference on Communication and Information Processing (ICCIP 2023),’ a pivotal event aimed at addressing unprecedented advancements in the mathematical aspects of Communication and Information Processing: Theories and Applications. Held in Lingshui, Hainan, China, in December 14–16, 2023, the conference's website, http://www.iccip.org/, serves as a repository of invaluable information.

ICCIP 2023 is dedicated to exploring cutting-edge theories and mathematical applications within communication and information processing technologies, intending to revolutionize future developments.

Featuring world-class plenary speakers, technical symposiums, and specialized tracks, ICCIP 2023 invites original mathematical papers for inclusion in its proceedings. This international conference provides a pivotal platform for researchers to converge and explore mathematical complexities across diverse areas within this field.

Moreover, this Special Issue warmly invites manuscripts that complement the conference's themes and keywords, specifically focusing on mathematical aspects not previously presented at ICCIP 2023. Such contributions are encouraged to further the mathematical underpinnings of Communication and Information Processing: Theories and Applications.

As an immensely important characteristic of natural images, the nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) prior has demonstrated great promise in a variety of inverse problems. Unfortunately, most current methods utilize either the internal or the external NSS prior learned from the degraded image or training images. The former is inevitably disturbed by degradation, while the latter is not adapted to the image to be restored. To mitigate such problems, this work proposes to learn a hybrid NSS prior from both internal images and external training images and employs it in image restoration tasks. To achieve our aims, we first learn internal and external NSS priors from the measured image and high-quality image sets, respectively. Then, with the learned priors, an efficient method, involving only singular value decomposition (SVD) and a simple weighting method, is developed to learn the HNSS prior for patch groups. Subsequently, taking the learned HNSS prior as the dictionary, we formulate a structural sparse representation model with adaptive regularization parameters called HNSS-SSR for image restoration, and a general and efficient image restoration algorithm is developed via an alternating minimization strategy. The experimental results indicate that the proposed HNSS-SSR-based restoration method exceeds many existing competition algorithms in PSNR and SSIM values. Full article
