On bayesian estimation and proximity operators

There are two major routes to address the ubiquitous family of inverse problems appearing in signal and image processing, such as denoising or deblurring. A first route relies on Bayesian modeling, where prior probabilities are used to embody models…

The effect of discretization on the mean geometry of a 2D random field

The study of the geometry of excursion sets of 2D random fields is a question of interest from both the theoretical and the applied viewpoints. In this paper we are interested in the relationship between the perimeter (resp. the total curvature,…

Analysis of Least square estimator for simple Linear Regression with a uniform distribution error

We study the least square estimator, in the framework of simple linear regression, when the deviance term ϵ with respect to the linear model is modeled by a uniform distribution. In particular, we give the law of this estimator, and prove some…

Can we improve the realism of gravity wave parameterizations by imposing sources at all altitudes in the atmosphere?

A multiwave non-orographic gravity waves (GWs) scheme is adapted to represent waves of small intrinsic phase speed, inertial waves, and wave emission from all altitudes. This last change removes the launching altitude parameter, an arbitrary…

Maximum entropy methods for texture synthesis: theory and practice

Recent years have seen the rise of convolutional neural network techniques in exemplar-based image synthesis. These methods often rely on the minimization of some variational formulation on the image space for which the minimizers are assumed to be…

A novel hybrid drone for multi-propose aerial transportation and its conceptual optimization based on surrogate approach

Abstract In recent years the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly adopted in various applications of the aerial transportation, meanwhile both the two main classifications, the fixed wing and multi-rotors drones, are limited by their own…

A Refined Theory for Bending Vibratory Analysis of Thick Functionally Graded Beams

A refined beam theory that takes the thickness-stretching into account is presented in this study for the bending vibratory behavior analysis of thick functionally graded (FG) beams. In this theory, the number of unknowns is reduced to four instead…

A CNN cloud detector for panchromatic satellite images

Cloud detection is a crucial step for automatic satellite image analysis. Some cloud detection methods exploit specially designed spectral bands, other base the detection on time series, or on the inter-band delay in push-broom satellites…

Compromise between precision and performance in high performance computing.

Floating-point numbers represent only a subset of real numbers. As such, floating-point arithmetic introduces approximations that can compound and have a significant impact on numerical simulations. We introduce a new way to estimate and localize…

Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes and their invariant measure

Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes (PDMPs) are studied in a general framework. First, different constructions are proven to be equivalent. Second, we introduce a coupling between two PDMPs following the same differential flow which implies…
