• Abstract: Image reconstruction for positron emission tomography (PET) is challenging because of the ill-conditioned tomographic problem and low counting statistics. Kernel methods address this challenge by using kernel representation to incorporate image prior information in the forward model of iterative PET image reconstruction. Existing kernel methods construct the kernels commonly using an empirical process, which may lead to suboptimal performance. In this paper, we describe the equivalence between the kernel representation and a trainable neural network model. A deep kernel method is proposed by exploiting deep neural networks to enable an automated learning of an optimized kernel model. The proposed method is directly applicable to single subjects. The training process utilizes available image prior data to seek the best way to form a set of robust kernels optimally rather than empirically. The results from computer simulations and a real patient dataset demonstrate that the proposed deep kernel method can outperform existing kernel method and neural network method for dynamic PET image reconstruction.

  Blind image encoding is a classic yet challenging problem in the field of image processing. Recent advances in deep image prior (DBID) have motivated a series of methods that demonstrate a-generative approaches. We propose a new pre-generative approach that better considers the prior modeling, and a generative approach for blur kernels.

  We develop a data-driven approach to model the saturated pixels by a learned latent map.

  Non-blind deblurring methods achieve decent performance under the accurate blur kernel assumption. Hand-crafted prior, incorporating domain knowledge, generally performs well but may lead to poor performance when kernel (or induced) error is complex. Data-driven prior, which excessively depends on the diversity and abundance of training data, is vulnerable to out-of-distribution blurs and images. We propose an unsupervised semi-blind deblurring model which recovers the latent image from the blurry image and inaccurate blur kernel.
