Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

On the Convergence of Optimistic Policy Iteration
We consider a finite-state Markov decision problem and establish the convergence of a special case of optimistic policy iteration that involves Monte Carlo estimation of Q-values,...

Variable Number of "Informative" Particles for Object Tracking
Particle filter is a sequential Monte Carlo method for object tracking in a recursive Bayesian filtering framework. The efficiency and accuracy of the particle filter depends on t...

A Bernoulli-Gaussian model for gene factor analysis
This paper investigates a Bayesian model and a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm for gene factor analysis. Each sample in the dataset is decomposed as a linear combination...

Fluorescence Microscopy Imaging Denoising With Log-euclidean Priors And Photobleaching Compensation
Fluorescent protein microscopy imaging is nowadays one of the most important tools in biomedical research. However, the resulting images present a low signal to noise ratio and a ...
