We describe a novel variational segmentation algorithm designed to split an image in two regions based on their intensity distributions. A functional is proposed to integrate the probability density functions of both regions within the optimization process ...
The article develops the approach of Ferro and Segers (2003) to the estimation of the extremal index, and proposes the use of a new variable decreasing the bias of the likelihood based on the point process character of the exceedances. Two estimators are d ...
e consider an estimation network of many distributed sensors, where each senor takes a noisy measurement of some unknown parameter. Due to energy limitation, the network selects only a subset of sensors for data fusion as long as the distortion is tolerabl ...
Motivated by the fractal-like behavior of natural images, we develop a smoothing technique that uses a regularization functional which is a fractional iterate of the Laplacian. This type of functional was initially introduced by Duchon for the approximatio ...
Starting from the power spectral density of Matérn stochastic processes, we introduce a new family of splines that is defined in terms of the whitening operator of such processes. We show that these Matérn splines admit a stable representation in a B-splin ...
The paper describes an algorithm and a corresponding VLSI architecture for the implementation of linear MMSE detection in packet-based MIMO-OFDM communication systems. The advantages of the presented receiver architecture are low latency, high-throughput, ...

In this paper we aim to explore what is the most appropriate number of data samples needed when measuring the temporal correspondence between a chosen set of video and audio cues in a given audio-visual sequence. Presently the optimal model that connects s ...
This paper presents an algorithm based on a continuous framework for a posteriori angular and translational assignment in three-dimensional electron microscopy (3DEM) of single particles. Our algorithm can be used advantageously to refine the assignment of ...
We study the mean-square performance of a diffusion least mean-squares protocol proposed in recent work to address the problem of distributed estimation [1, 2]. By relying on energy conservation arguments [8] we derive closed form expressions for the mean- ...
