Spectrum adapted expectation-conditional maximization algorithm for extending high–throughput peak separation method in XPS analysis

The dynamic ‘expectation–conditional maximization either’ algorithm

The ‘expectation–conditional maximization either’ (ECME) algorithm has proven to be an effective way of accelerating the expectation–maximization algorithm for many problems. Recognizing the limitation of using prefixed acceleration subspaces in the ECME algorithm, we propose a dynamic ECME (DECME) algorithm which allows the acceleration subspaces to be chosen dynamically. The simplest DECME im...

Expectation Maximization Deconvolution Algorithm

In this paper, we use a general mathematical and experimental methodology to analyze image deconvolution. The main procedure is to use an example image convolving it with a know Gaussian point spread function and then develop algorithms to recover the image. Observe the deconvolution process by adding Gaussian and Poisson noise at different signal to noise ratios. In addition, we will describe ...

The Expectation Maximization Algorithm

This note represents my attempt at explaining the EM algorithm (Hartley, 1958; Dempster et al., 1977; McLachlan and Krishnan, 1997). This is just a slight variation on TomMinka’s tutorial (Minka, 1998), perhaps a little easier (or perhaps not). It includes a graphical example to provide some intuition. 1 Intuitive Explanation of EM EM is an iterative optimizationmethod to estimate some unknown ...

Rigid Point Registration with Expectation Conditional Maximization

This paper addresses the issue of matching rigid 3D object points with 2D image points through point registration based on maximum likelihood principle in computer simulated images. Perspective projection is necessary when transforming 3D coordinate into 2D. The problem then recasts into a missing data framework where unknown correspondences are handled via mixture models. Adopting the Expectat...
