A graph-based mathematical morphology reader
This survey paper aims at providing a "literary" anthology of mathematical
morphology on graphs. It describes in the English language many ideas stemming
from a large number of different papers, hence providing a unified view of an
active and diverse field of research
Probabilistic Sparse Subspace Clustering Using Delayed Association
Discovering and clustering subspaces in high-dimensional data is a
fundamental problem of machine learning with a wide range of applications in
data mining, computer vision, and pattern recognition. Earlier methods divided
the problem into two separate stages of finding the similarity matrix and
finding clusters. Similar to some recent works, we integrate these two steps
using a joint optimization approach. We make the following contributions: (i)
we estimate the reliability of the cluster assignment for each point before
assigning a point to a subspace. We group the data points into two groups of
"certain" and "uncertain", with the assignment of latter group delayed until
their subspace association certainty improves. (ii) We demonstrate that delayed
association is better suited for clustering subspaces that have ambiguities,
i.e. when subspaces intersect or data are contaminated with outliers/noise.
(iii) We demonstrate experimentally that such delayed probabilistic association
leads to a more accurate self-representation and final clusters. The proposed
method has higher accuracy both for points that exclusively lie in one
subspace, and those that are on the intersection of subspaces. (iv) We show
that delayed association leads to huge reduction of computational cost, since
it allows for incremental spectral clustering
Four-dimensional tomographic reconstruction by time domain decomposition
Since the beginnings of tomography, the requirement that the sample does not
change during the acquisition of one tomographic rotation is unchanged. We
derived and successfully implemented a tomographic reconstruction method which
relaxes this decades-old requirement of static samples. In the presented
method, dynamic tomographic data sets are decomposed in the temporal domain
using basis functions and deploying an L1 regularization technique where the
penalty factor is taken for spatial and temporal derivatives. We implemented
the iterative algorithm for solving the regularization problem on modern GPU
systems to demonstrate its practical use
