pyFFS: A Python Library for Fast Fourier Series Computation and Interpolation with GPU Acceleration

Martin Vetterli, Paul Hurley, Sepand Kashani, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Eric Bezzam

Fourier transforms are an often necessary component in many computational tasks, and can be computed efficiently through the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. However, many applications involve an underlying continuous signal, and a more natural choi ...

SiML: Sieved Maximum Likelihood for Array Signal Processing

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Stochastic Maximum Likelihood (SML) is a popular direction of arrival (DOA) estimation technique in array signal processing. It is a parametric method that jointly estimates signal and instrument noise by maximum likelihood, achieving excellent statistical ...

CPGD: Cadzow Plug-and-Play Gradient Descent for Generalised FRI

Martin Vetterli, Paul Hurley, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Finite rate of innovation (FRI) is a powerful reconstruction framework enabling the recovery of sparse Dirac streams from uniform low-pass filtered samples. An extension of this framework, called generalised FRI (genFRI), has been recently proposed for han ...

Graph Spectral Clustering of Convolution Artefacts in Radio Interferometric Images

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

The starting point for deconvolution methods in radioastronomy is an estimate of the sky intensity called a dirty image. These methods rely on the telescope point-spread function so as to remove artefacts which pollute it. In this work, we show that the in ...

DeepWave: A Recurrent Neural-Network for Real-Time Acoustic Imaging

Martin Vetterli, Paul Hurley, Sepand Kashani, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

We propose a recurrent neural-network for real-time reconstruction of acoustic camera spherical maps. The network, dubbed DeepWave, is both physically and algorithmically motivated: its recurrent architecture mimics iterative solvers from convex optimisati ...

A Physical Model of Non-stationary Blur in Ultrasound Imaging

Paul Hurley, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Dimitris Perdios, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Marcel Arditi

Conventional ultrasound (US) imaging relies on delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming which retrieves a radio- frequency (RF) image, a blurred estimate of the tissue reflectivity function (TRF). Despite the non-stationarity of the blur induced by propagation effe ...

Towards More Accurate Radio Telescope Images

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Nezihe Merve Gürel

Radio interferometry usually compensates for high levels of noise in sensor/antenna electronics by throwing data and energy at the problem: observe longer, then store and process it all. We propose instead a method to remove the noise explicitly before ima ...

A Functional Framework For Ultrasound Imaging

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Delay-And-Sum (DAS), the state-of-art in ultrasound imaging, is known to be sub-optimal, resulting in low resolution and contrast. Most proposed improvements involve ad-hoc re-weighting, or hit computational bottlenecks given real-time requirements. This p ...

LEAP: Looking beyond pixels with continuous-space EstimAtion of Point sources

Martin Vetterli, Paul Hurley, Thierry Blu, Hanjie Pan, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Context. Two main classes of imaging algorithms have emerged in radio interferometry: the CLEAN algorithm and its multiple variants, and compressed-sensing inspired methods. They are both discrete in nature, and estimate source locations and intensities on ...

Imaging in radio interferometry by iterative subset scanning using a modified amp algorithm

Paul Hurley, Sanaz Kazemi, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Giovanni Cherubini

Imaging techniques in radio interferometry often face a significant challenge posed by the large number of antenna signals received, from which the image information needs to be extracted. Beam- forming is envisaged to reduce the rate required for transpor ...
