Systems Seminar
Multiscale Intensity Estimation for Marked Poisson Processes
Prof. Rebecca Willett
Duke University ECE Department
Abstract
Inference conducted on severely data-starved Poisson processes can be
dramatically improved by using auxiliary information about measured
discrete events in the form of "marks". Marks are widely available in
many applications, and can take the form of photon energy, time delay
information, packet size, or other forms of characterizations. Effectively
using marks results in innovative signal processing methods and dramatic
error reductions in the context of Poisson intensity estimation. The
efficacy of the proposed method is demonstrated in the context of
photon-limited spatio-spectral intensity estimation, with applications
to solar physics and multi-photon microscopy.
