P1.2 A New Entropy Measure Based on Multiple Resolution and Noise Modeling

Fionn Murtagh (University of Ulster and Strasbourg Observatory), J.-L. Starck (CEA, DAPNIA, Saclay)

A new measure of information is defined which is based on noise modeling and incorporates resolution scale. Properties of this measure are discussed. Use of such an entropy measure for filtering and deconvolution is exemplified. Finally, implications for structuring of, and access to, image archives are noted.
