Abstract

We consider the problem of adaptive spatial smoothing for a time series of images. This type of data typically occurs in functional and dynamic Magnet Resonance Imaging (MRI). We propose a new method based on spatial smoothing with adaptively chosen weights. We show how this procedure can be used for efficient image estimation and classification in functional and dynamic MRI experiments. The performance of the procedure is illustrated by applications to simulated and real data.
