Blind Intensity Estimation from Shot-Noise Data - Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on

چکیده
The estimation of the intensity function of an inhomogeneous Poisson process is considered when the observable data consists of sampled shot noise that results from passing the Poisson process through an unknown linear time-invariant system. The proposed method consists of first estimating a histogram of the underlying point process. The estimated histogram is used to construct a kernel estimate of the intensity function. An estimate of the unknown impulse response of the linear timeinvariant system is constructed via a regularized backsubstitution of a discrete-time convolution with the estimated histogram.

Image detection under low-level illumination
Image detection under low-light-level conditions is treated as a hypothesis-testing problem in which the observations are modeled as a shot-noise process. Since computing the likelihood ratio for shot-noise processes is not feasible, the use of a one-dimensional test statistic obtained by filtering and sampling the observations is proposed. The filter is chosen to maximize a generalized signal-...
متن کاملWavelet-domain filtering for photon imaging systems
Many imaging systems rely on photon detection as the basis of image formation. One of the major sources of error in these systems is Poisson noise due to the quantum nature of the photon detection process. Unlike additive Gaussian white noise, the variance of Poisson noise is proportional to the underlying signal intensity, and consequently separating signal from noise is a very difficult task....
متن کاملMultichannel blind iterative image restoration
Blind image deconvolution is required in many applications of microscopy imaging, remote sensing, and astronomical imaging. Unfortunately in a single-channel framework, serious conceptual and numerical problems are often encountered. Very recently, an eigenvector-based method (EVAM) was proposed for a multichannel framework which determines perfectly convolution masks in a noise-free environmen...
متن کاملMultiple wavelet threshold estimation by generalized cross validation for images with correlated noise
Denoising algorithms based on wavelet thresholding replace small wavelet coefficients by zero and keep or shrink the coefficients with absolute value above the threshold. The optimal threshold minimizes the error of the result as compared to the unknown, exact data. To estimate this optimal threshold, we use generalized cross validation. This procedure does not require an estimation for the noi...
متن کاملTransmitter Induced Cyclostationarity For Blind Channel Equalization - Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on
Fractional sampling has received considerable interest recently as a means of developing blind equalization techniques without resorting to higher order statistics. Instead, cyclostationarity introduced at the receiver by fractional sampling is exploited. In this paper, we show that simpler solutions are possible if cyclostationarity is introduced at the transmitter instead of the receiver. We ...
