OrthonormalityIn linear algebra, two vectors in an inner product space are orthonormal if they are orthogonal (or perpendicular along a line) unit vectors. A set of vectors form an orthonormal set if all vectors in the set are mutually orthogonal and all of unit length. An orthonormal set which forms a basis is called an orthonormal basis. The construction of orthogonality of vectors is motivated by a desire to extend the intuitive notion of perpendicular vectors to higher-dimensional spaces.
Constrained optimizationIn mathematical optimization, constrained optimization (in some contexts called constraint optimization) is the process of optimizing an objective function with respect to some variables in the presence of constraints on those variables. The objective function is either a cost function or energy function, which is to be minimized, or a reward function or utility function, which is to be maximized.
Orthogonal basisIn mathematics, particularly linear algebra, an orthogonal basis for an inner product space is a basis for whose vectors are mutually orthogonal. If the vectors of an orthogonal basis are normalized, the resulting basis is an orthonormal basis. Any orthogonal basis can be used to define a system of orthogonal coordinates Orthogonal (not necessarily orthonormal) bases are important due to their appearance from curvilinear orthogonal coordinates in Euclidean spaces, as well as in Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.
Optical sortingOptical sorting (sometimes called digital sorting) is the automated process of sorting solid products using cameras and/or lasers. Depending on the types of sensors used and the software-driven intelligence of the system, optical sorters can recognize an object's color, size, shape, structural properties and chemical composition. The sorter compares objects to user-defined accept/reject criteria to identify and remove defective products and foreign material (FM) from the production line, or to separate product of different grades or types of materials.
Signal separationSource separation, blind signal separation (BSS) or blind source separation, is the separation of a set of source signals from a set of mixed signals, without the aid of information (or with very little information) about the source signals or the mixing process. It is most commonly applied in digital signal processing and involves the analysis of mixtures of signals; the objective is to recover the original component signals from a mixture signal.
Matrice triangulairevignette|algèbre linéaire En algèbre linéaire, une matrice triangulaire est une matrice carrée dont tous les coefficients sont nuls d’un côté ou de l’autre de la diagonale principale. C’est en particulier le cas si la matrice est diagonale. Une matrice est triangulaire stricte si elle est triangulaire et que tous ses coefficients diagonaux sont nuls. Dans ce qui suit, on considérera un anneau unitaire R non forcément commutatif, des R-modules à gauche et des R-modules à droite.
Optimisation multiobjectifL'optimisation multiobjectif (appelée aussi Programmation multi-objective ou optimisation multi-critère) est une branche de l'optimisation mathématique traitant spécifiquement des problèmes d'optimisation ayant plusieurs fonctions objectifs. Elle se distingue de l'optimisation multidisciplinaire par le fait que les objectifs à optimiser portent ici sur un seul problème. Les problèmes multiobjectifs ont un intérêt grandissant dans l'industrie où les responsables sont contraints de tenter d'optimiser des objectifs contradictoires.
Modèle de mélangeIn statistics, a mixture model is a probabilistic model for representing the presence of subpopulations within an overall population, without requiring that an observed data set should identify the sub-population to which an individual observation belongs. Formally a mixture model corresponds to the mixture distribution that represents the probability distribution of observations in the overall population.

Tomographic reconstructionTomographic reconstruction is a type of multidimensional inverse problem where the challenge is to yield an estimate of a specific system from a finite number of projections. The mathematical basis for tomographic imaging was laid down by Johann Radon. A notable example of applications is the reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) where cross-sectional images of patients are obtained in non-invasive manner.
