Maximum-likelihood detection of sources among Poissonian noise
A maximum likelihood (ML) technique for detecting compact sources in images of the x-ray sky is examined. Such images, in the relatively low exposure regime accessible to present x-ray observatories, exhibit Poissonian noise at background flux levels. A variety of source detection methods are compared via Monte Carlo, and the ML detection method is shown to compare favourably with the optimized...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Face Detection
In this paper we present a visual learning approach that uses non-parametric probability estimators. We use entropy analysis over the training set in order to select the features that best represent the pattern class of faces, and set up discrete probability models. These models are tested in the context of maximum likelihooddetection of faces. Excellent results are reported in terms of the cor...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood source separation for discrete sources
This communication deals with the source separation problem which consists in the separation of a noisy mixture of independent sources without a priori knowledge of the mixture coeecients. In this paper, we consider the maximum likelihood (ML) approach for discrete source signals with known probability distributions. An important feature of the ML approach in Gaussian noise is that the covarian...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood DOA Estimation of Multiple Wideband Sources in the Presence of Nonuniform Sensor Noise
We investigate the maximum likelihood (ML) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of multiple wideband sources in the presence of unknown nonuniform sensor noise. New closed-form expression for the direction estimation Cramér-Rao-Bound (CRB) has been derived. The performance of the conventional wideband uniform ML estimator under nonuniform noise has been studied. In order to mitigate the perfor...
متن کاملLocal Maximum Likelihood Multiuser Detection
It is well-known that the optimum multiuser detector achieves the global maximum likelihood (GML) detection in the entire set of hypotheses and several other iterative detectors such as the SAGE detector achieve the local maximum likelihood (LML) detection in the smallest neighborhood. In this paper, we generalize the local maximum likelihood detection into any size of neighborhood. The charact...
