Least-Squares Deconvolution of Compton Telescope Data With the Positivity Constraint
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a IJirect Linear Algebraic I)econvolution (DI,AI)) approach to imaging of data from Compton ~-ray telescopes. lrnposition of the additional physical constraint, that all components of the model bc non-negative, has been found to have a powerful effect in stabilizing the results, giving spatial resolution at or near the instrumental limit. A companion paper (Dixon et al. 1993) presents preliminary images of the Crab Nebula region using data from COMP’I’E1, on the Compion Gamma-Ray Observatory.

متن کاملA normalized scaled gradient method to solve non-negativity and equality constrained linear inverse problem – Application to spectral mixture analysis
This paper addresses the problem of minimizing a convex cost function under non-negativity and equality constraints, with the aim of solving the linear unmixing problem encountered in hyperspectral imagery. This problem can be formulated as a linear regression problem whose regression coefficients (abundances) satisfy sumto-one and positivity constraints. A normalized scaled gradient iterative ...
متن کاملPositive Deconvolution for Superimposed Extended Source and Point Sources
The paper deals with the construction of images from visibilities acquired using aperture synthesis instruments: Fourier synthesis, deconvolution, and spectral interpolation/extrapolation. Its intended application is to specific situations in which the imaged object possesses two superimposed components: (i) an extended component together with (ii) a set of point sources. It is also specificall...
متن کاملDoppler imaging of BD + 22 4409 ( LO Peg ) using LeastSquares Deconvolution ?
We present maximum entropy reconstructions of the rapidly rotating dwarf single star BD+22 4409 (LO Peg) from observations at the William Herschel Telescope in August 1993. Since this star is too faint to use the conventional single or 3-line Doppler Imaging methods, we make use of the novel method of Least Squares Deconvolution, which utilizes the large number of photospheric lines in an echel...
متن کاملApproximating Symmetric Positive Semidefinite Tensors of Even Order
Tensors of various orders can be used for modeling physical quantities such as strain and diffusion as well as curvature and other quantities of geometric origin. Depending on the physical properties of the modeled quantity, the estimated tensors are often required to satisfy the positivity constraint, which can be satisfied only with tensors of even order. Although the space [Formula: see text...
