A Robust EM Algorithm for Radio Interferometric Imaging in The Presence of Outliers

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 …

Robust Geometric Metric Learning

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 …

A New Phase Linking Algorithm for Multi-temporal InSAR based on the Maximum Likelihood Estimator

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 …

On the use of geodesic triangles between Gaussian distributions for classification problems

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 …

On-line Kronecker Product Structured Covariance Estimation with Riemannian geometry for t-distributed data

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 …

Expectation-Maximization Based Direction of Arrival Estimation Under a Mixture of Noise

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 …

A Tyler-Type Estimator of Location and Scatter Leveraging Riemannian Optimization

We consider the problem of jointly estimating the location and scatter matrix of a Compound Gaussian distribution with unknown deterministic texture parameters. When the location is known, the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) of the scatter matrix …

A Riemannian approach to blind separation of t-distributed sources

The blind source separation problem is considered through the approach based on non-stationarity and coloration. In both cases, the sources are usually assumed to be Gaussian. In this paper, we extend previous works in order to handle sources drawn …

Riemannian Geometry and Cramér-rao Bound for Blind Separation of Gaussian Sources

We consider the optimal performance of blind separation of Gaussian sources. In practice, this estimation problem is solved by a two-step procedure: estimation of a set of covariance matrices from the observed data and approximate joint …
