Retraction-based numerical methods for continuation, interpolation and time integration on manifolds

The goal of this thesis is the development and the analysis of numerical methods for problems where the unknown is a curve on a smooth manifold. In particular, the thesis is structured around the three following problems: homotopy continuation, curve inter ...

Continuous-Domain Signal Reconstruction Using L-p-Norm Regularization

Michaël Unser, Pakshal Narendra Bohra

We focus on the generalized-interpolation problem. There, one reconstructs continuous-domain signals that honor discrete data constraints. This problem is infinite-dimensional and ill-posed. We make it well-posed by imposing that the solution balances data ...

Domain-Informed Spline Interpolation

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Hamid Behjat, Zafer Dogan

Standard interpolation techniques are implicitly based on the assumption that the signal lies on a single homogeneous domain. In contrast, many naturally occurring signals lie on an inhomogeneous domain, such as brain activity associated to different brain ...

Multiresolution Subdivision Snakes

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual

We present a new family of snakes that satisfy the property of multiresolution by exploiting subdivision schemes. We show in a generic way how to construct such snakes based on an admissible subdivision mask. We derive the necessary energy formulations and ...

Landmark Active Contours for Bioimage Analysis

Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

The problem of identifying the outline of objects in images can be approached from two starting points, either by considering localized features (landmarks, keypoints or regions), or by searching for global contours. Features are regions or points of int ...

A Family of Smooth and Interpolatory Basis Functions for Parametric Curve and Surface Representation

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Ricard Delgado Gonzalo

Interpolatory basis functions are helpful to specify parametric curves or surfaces that can be modified by simple user-interaction. Their main advantage is a characterization of the object by a set of control points that lie on the shape itself (i.e., curv ...

An Inner-Product Calculus for Periodic Functions and Curves

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual

Our motivation is the design of efficient algorithms to process closed curves represented by basis functions or wavelets. To that end, we introduce an inner-product calculus to evaluate correlations and

distances between such curves. In partic ...

Methods of approximation influence aquatic ecosystem metabolism estimates

Janine Rüegg

Aquatic ecologists have recently employed dynamic models to estimate aquatic ecosystem metabolism. All approaches involve numerically solving a differential equation describing dissolved oxygen (DO) dynamics. Although the DO differential equation can be so ...

Hermite Snakes with Control of Tangents

Michaël Unser, Julien René Pierre Fageot, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

We introduce a new model of parametric contours defined in a continuous fashion. Our curve model relies on Hermite spline interpolation and can easily generate curves with sharp discontinuities; it also grants direct access to the tangent at each location. ...

Statistical Optimality of Hermite Splines

Michaël Unser, Julien René Pierre Fageot, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Harshit Gupta

Hermite splines are commonly used for interpolating data when samples of the derivative are available, in a scheme called Hermite interpolation. Assuming a suitable statistical model, we demonstrate that this method is actually optimal for reconstructing r ...
