Analysis-suitable T-splines of arbitrary degree: definition, linear independence and approximation properties

Annalisa Buffa, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez

T-splines are an important tool in IGA since they allow local refinement. In this paper we define analysis-suitable T-splines of arbitrary degree and prove fundamental properties: Linear independence of the blending functions and optimal approximation prop ...

Linear Interpolation Of Biomedical Images Using A Data-Adaptive Kernel

Michaël Unser, John Paul Ward, Aurélien Bourquard, Hagay Kirshner

In this work, we propose a continuous-domain stochastic model that can be applied to image data. This model is autoregressive, and accounts for Gaussian-type as well as for non-Gaussian-type innovations. In order to estimate the corresponding parameters fr ...

Can Localization Microscopy Benefit From Approximation Theory?

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Hagay Kirshner

We introduce a general and computationally efficient approach to 3-D localization microscopy. The main idea is to construct a continuous-domain representation of the PSF by expanding it in a polynomial B-spline basis. This allows us to fit the PSF to the d ...

Mapping extreme snowfalls in the French Alps using max-stable processes

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume

The evaluation of extreme snowfalls is an important challenge for hazard management in mountainous regions. In this paper, the extreme snowfall data acquired from 40 meteorological stations in the French Alps since 1966 are analyzed using spatial extreme s ...

Iterative FBP For Improved Reconstruction Of X-Ray Differential Phase-Contrast Tomograms

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Peter Modregger, Masih Nilchian, Marco Stampanoni

X-ray differential phase-contrast tomography is a recently-developed modality for the imaging of low-contrast biological samples. Its mathematical model is based on the first derivative of the Radon transform and the images, in practice, are reconstructed ...

On the Linearity of Bayesian Interpolators for Non-Gaussian Continuous-Time AR(1) Processes

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz, Arash Amini, John Paul Ward

Bayesian estimation problems involving Gaussian distributions often result in linear estimation techniques. Nevertheless, there are no general statements as to whether the linearity of the Bayesian estimator is restricted to the Gaussian case. The two comm ...

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses XII. Time delays of the doubly lensed quasars SDSS J1206+4332 and HS 2209+1914

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

Aims. Within the framework of the COSMOGRAIL collaboration we present 7- and 8.5-year-long light curves and time-delay estimates for two gravitationally lensed quasars: SDSS J1206+4332 and HS 2209+1914. Methods. We monitored these doubly lensed quasars in ...

BPX-preconditioning for isogeometric analysis

Annalisa Buffa

We consider elliptic PDEs (partial differential equations) in the framework of isogeometric analysis, i.e., we treat the physical domain by means of a B-spline or NURBS mapping which we assume to be regular. The numerical solution of the PDE is computed by ...

Sampling and reconstructing diffusion fields in presence of aliasing

Martin Vetterli, Juri Ranieri

The reconstruction of a diffusion field, such as temperature, from samples collected by a sensor network is a classical inverse problem and it is known to be ill-conditioned. Previous work considered source models, such as sparse sources, to regularize the ...

Fast iterative reconstruction of differential phase contrast X-ray tomograms

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Peter Modregger, Masih Nilchian, Marco Stampanoni

Differential phase-contrast is a recent technique in the context of X-ray imaging. In order to reduce the specimen's exposure time, we propose a new iterative algorithm that can achieve the same quality as FBP-type methods, while using substantially fewer ...
