Dimension reduction (DR) methods provide systematic approaches for analyzing high-dimensional data. A key requirement for DR is to incorporate global dependencies among original and embedded samples while preserving clusters in the embedding space. …
This paper proposes an algorithm for phase differences estimation in multi-temporal InSAR. The proposed approach is based on covariance fitting estimation and the majorization-minimization algorithm. Experiments with Sentinel-1 images of Mexico City …
This paper addresses the problem of robust and sparse PCA. We consider a formulation combining a M-estimation type robust subspace recovery term and a mixed norm that promotes structured sparsity in the basis vectors, which is especially interesting …
Image synthesis in the context of radio interferometric data can be expressed as a signal reconstruction from incomplete Fourier measurements. Most imaging techniques for radio interferometry lie in minimizing the least square error between the …
This paper proposes new algorithms for the metric learning problem. We start by noticing that several classical metric learning formulations from the literature can be viewed as modified covariance matrix estimation problems. Leveraging this point of …
This paper presents a new algorithm for improving the estimation of interferometric SAR (InSAR) phases in the context of time series and phase linking approach. Based on maximum likelihood estimator of a multivariate Gaussian model, the estimation of …
This paper presents a new classification framework for both first and second order statistics, i.e. mean/location and covariance matrix. In the last decade, several covariance matrix classification algorithms have been proposed. They often leverage …
The information geometry of the zero-mean t-distribution with Kronecker-product structured covariance matrix is derived. In particular, we obtain the Fisher information metric which shows that this geometry is identifiable to a product manifold of …
In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for direction of arrival estimation in the presence of a noise which is a combination of white Gaussian distributed noise and spherically invariant random distributed noise. Such combination arises in …
