Book Source Separation in Physical Chemical Sensing

Download or read book Source Separation in Physical Chemical Sensing written by Christian Jutten and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Source Separation in Physical-Chemical Sensing Master advanced signal processing for enhanced physical and chemical sensors with this essential guide In many domains (medicine, satellite imaging and remote sensing, food industry, materials science), data is obtained from large sets of physical/chemical sensors or sensor arrays. Such sophisticated measurement techniques require advanced and smart processing for extracting useful information from raw sensing data. Usually, sensors are not very selective and record a mixture of the useful latent variables. An innovative technique called Blind Source Separation (BSS) can isolate and retrieve the individual latent variables from a mixed-source data array, allowing for refined analysis that fully exploits these cutting-edged imaging and signal-sensing technologies. Source Separation in Physical-Chemical Sensing, supplies a thorough introduction to the principles of BSS, main methods and algorithms and its potential applications in various domains where data are obtained through physical or chemical sensors. Designed to bridge the gap between chemical/physical analysis and signal processing, it promises to be invaluable in many fields. Its alertness to the latest technologies and the full range of potential BSS applications make it an indispensable introduction to this cutting-edge method. Source Separation in Physical-Chemical Sensing readers will also find: BSS examples on chemical and physical sensors and devices to enhance processing and analysis. Detailed treatment of source separation in potentiometric sensors, ion-sensitive sensors, hyperspectral imaging, Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy, chromatography, and others. Thorough discussion of Bayesian source separation, nonnegative matrix factorization, tensorial methods, geometrical methods, constrained optimization, and more. Source Separation in Physical-Chemical Sensing is a must-have for researchers and engineers working in signal processing and statistical analysis, as well as for chemists, physicists or engineers looking to apply source separation in various application domains.

Book Nonnegative Matrix and Tensor Factorizations

Download or read book Nonnegative Matrix and Tensor Factorizations written by Andrzej Cichocki and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-07-10 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad survey of models and efficient algorithms for Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF). This includes NMF’s various extensions and modifications, especially Nonnegative Tensor Factorizations (NTF) and Nonnegative Tucker Decompositions (NTD). NMF/NTF and their extensions are increasingly used as tools in signal and image processing, and data analysis, having garnered interest due to their capability to provide new insights and relevant information about the complex latent relationships in experimental data sets. It is suggested that NMF can provide meaningful components with physical interpretations; for example, in bioinformatics, NMF and its extensions have been successfully applied to gene expression, sequence analysis, the functional characterization of genes, clustering and text mining. As such, the authors focus on the algorithms that are most useful in practice, looking at the fastest, most robust, and suitable for large-scale models. Key features: Acts as a single source reference guide to NMF, collating information that is widely dispersed in current literature, including the authors’ own recently developed techniques in the subject area. Uses generalized cost functions such as Bregman, Alpha and Beta divergences, to present practical implementations of several types of robust algorithms, in particular Multiplicative, Alternating Least Squares, Projected Gradient and Quasi Newton algorithms. Provides a comparative analysis of the different methods in order to identify approximation error and complexity. Includes pseudo codes and optimized MATLAB source codes for almost all algorithms presented in the book. The increasing interest in nonnegative matrix and tensor factorizations, as well as decompositions and sparse representation of data, will ensure that this book is essential reading for engineers, scientists, researchers, industry practitioners and graduate students across signal and image processing; neuroscience; data mining and data analysis; computer science; bioinformatics; speech processing; biomedical engineering; and multimedia.

Book Discretization and MCMC Convergence Assessment

Download or read book Discretization and MCMC Convergence Assessment written by Christian P. Robert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exponential increase in the use of MCMC methods and the corre sponding applications in domains of even higher complexity have caused a growing concern about the available convergence assessment methods and the realization that some of these methods were not reliable enough for all-purpose analyses. Some researchers have mainly focussed on the con vergence to stationarity and the estimation of rates of convergence, in rela tion with the eigenvalues of the transition kernel. This monograph adopts a different perspective by developing (supposedly) practical devices to assess the mixing behaviour of the chain under study and, more particularly, it proposes methods based on finite (state space) Markov chains which are obtained either through a discretization of the original Markov chain or through a duality principle relating a continuous state space Markov chain to another finite Markov chain, as in missing data or latent variable models. The motivation for the choice of finite state spaces is that, although the resulting control is cruder, in the sense that it can often monitor con vergence for the discretized version alone, it is also much stricter than alternative methods, since the tools available for finite Markov chains are universal and the resulting transition matrix can be estimated more accu rately. Moreover, while some setups impose a fixed finite state space, other allow for possible refinements in the discretization level and for consecutive improvements in the convergence monitoring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solutions for Time-Critical Remote Sensing Applications The recent use of latest-generation sensors in airborne and satellite platforms is producing a nearly continual stream of high-dimensional data, which, in turn, is creating new processing challenges. To address the computational requirements of time-critical applications, researchers have begun incorporating high performance computing (HPC) models in remote sensing missions. High Performance Computing in Remote Sensing is one of the first volumes to explore state-of-the-art HPC techniques in the context of remote sensing problems. It focuses on the computational complexity of algorithms that are designed for parallel computing and processing. A Diverse Collection of Parallel Computing Techniques and Architectures The book first addresses key computing concepts and developments in remote sensing. It also covers application areas not necessarily related to remote sensing, such as multimedia and video processing. Each subsequent chapter illustrates a specific parallel computing paradigm, including multiprocessor (cluster-based) systems, large-scale and heterogeneous networks of computers, grid computing platforms, and specialized hardware architectures for remotely sensed data analysis and interpretation. An Interdisciplinary Forum to Encourage Novel Ideas The extensive reviews of current and future developments combined with thoughtful perspectives on the potential challenges of adapting HPC paradigms to remote sensing problems will undoubtedly foster collaboration and development among many fields.

Book Multivariate Image Analysis

Download or read book Multivariate Image Analysis written by Paul Geladi and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1997-01-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quantity of visual information encountered experimentally by scientists across a wide range of fields has grown dramatically in recent years. As a result, the importance of dealing with multivariate data (data obtained by measuring a number of different quantities simultaneously) present in images has become much more important, and the requirement for techniques which are able to manage and analyse these data has become crucial for the practising scientist in many diverse disciplines. Multivariate Image Analysis gives the reader a sound understanding of the importance of, and the principles behind, multivariate image analysis. A short introduction to the image and its perception is followed by a discussion of some popular techniques of multivariate image formation, taken from fields such as microscopy, remote sensing and medical imaging. The principles behind one of the key multivariate techniques, principal components analysis, are thoroughly explained without going too far into the theory: The important concepts of residual visualization and local modelling are explained. Throughout, the power of the techniques discussed is demonstrated with the use of simple worked examples to illustrate the concepts, and more complex examples to indicate to the reader how a complete analysis would be carried out. The book is richly illustrated with colour images. Multivariate Image Analysis is of great interest to all those involved in the analysis of data contained in complex images. The techniques discussed are widely applicable, and are finding use in fields such as microscopy, satellite remote sensing, medical imaging, radiology, analytical chemistry, spectroscopy and astronomy.
