Far-infrared imaging surveys of Galactic star-forming regions with Herschel have shown that a substantial part of the cold interstellar medium appears as a fascinating web of omnipresent filamentary structures. This highly anisotropic…
Segmentations are often necessary for the analysis of image data. They are used to identify different objects, for example cell nuclei, mitochondria, or complete cells in microscopic images. There might be features in the data, that cannot…
Context. Filamentary structures appear to be ubiquitous in the interstellar medium. Being able to detect and characterize them is the first step toward understanding their origin, their evolution, and their role in the Galactic cycle of…
A new method for the reconstruction of the projected mass distribution of clusters of galaxies from the image distortion of background galaxies is discussed. This method is essentially equivalent to the one we developed previously, i.e.,…
A major challenge facing existing sequential Monte-Carlo methods for parameter estimation in physics stems from the inability of existing approaches to robustly deal with experiments that have different mechanisms that yield the results…
The detection and characterization of filamentary structures in the cosmic web allows cosmologists to constrain parameters that dictates the evolution of the Universe. While many filament estimators have been proposed, they generally lack…
