Abstract

The forthcoming text of this chapter is intended to raise the debate about the content of the book. To fulfill this purpose, is presented in first instance a section that summarizes on how the literature is reviewed throughout the book and also the MRI database employed to validate the unifying theory. Following this presentation, the chapter introduces to the reader the concept behind the basic issue relating to signal-image interpolation, which is the preservation of the signal (image) energy after processing with interpolation. This concept is strictly related to the approximation properties of the interpolation functions and consequently to the interpolation error. This concept is widely accepted in literature and is viewed in this works with a different and innovative perspective. The discussion undertaken in this chapter then introduces the signal-image processing techniques that were developed under the umbrella of the unifying theory. These are: (i) the SRE-based interpolation functions, (ii) the spectral power evolutions, (iii) a three layered artificial neural network with the added capability to generate its internal architecture during the learning process such to adjust to the given pattern classification task.
