A convex nonlocal total variation regularization algorithm for multiplicative noise removal
This study proposes a nonlocal total variation restoration method to address multiplicative noise removal problems. The strictly convex, objective, nonlocal, total variation effectively utilizes prior information about the multiplicative noise and uses ...

Maximum A Posteriori estimation for AUV localization with USBL measurements
Abstract Due to the limitations of electromagnetic signals, underwater scenarios increase the complexity of developing accurate navigation systems. In the last decades, Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) positioning systems have been widely and efficiently used for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) localization, endorsing to be a suitable solution to ...

Maximum a posteriori estimation for high-throughput peak fitting in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
We introduce a peak fitting method to estimate the model parameters and the number of peaks without using the conventional trial-and-error approach. The proposed method automatically removes excess peaks using maximum a posteriori estimation.
