We investigate a new sampling scheme aimed at improving the performance of particle filters whenever (a) there is a significant mismatch between the assumed model dynamics and the actual system, or (b) the posterior probability tends to…
In this paper we derive an exact full expression for the 2D probability distribution of the ellipticity of an object measured from data, only assuming Gaussian noise in pixel values. This is a generalisation of the probability distribution…

Analysis of galaxy--galaxy strong lensing systems is strongly dependent on any prior assumptions made about the appearance of the source. Here we present a method of imposing a data-driven prior / regularisation for source galaxies based on…
We investigate the recovery of structures from large-area, low dose exposures that distribute the dose over many identical copies of an object. The reconstruction is done via a maximum likelihood approach that does neither require to…
We introduce a novel two-step approach for estimating a probability density function (pdf) given its samples, with the second and important step coming from a geometric formulation. The procedure involves obtaining an initial estimate of…
A noise-based non-parametric technique for detecting nebulous objects, for example, irregular or clumpy galaxies, and their structure in noise is introduced. "Noise-based" and "non-parametric" imply that this technique imposes negligible…
Denoising diffusion models have emerged as the go-to generative framework for solving inverse problems in imaging. A critical concern regarding these models is their performance on out-of-distribution tasks, which remains an under-explored…
This paper proposes a new Bayesian strategy for the smooth estimation of altimetric parameters. The altimetric signal is assumed to be corrupted by a thermal and speckle noise distributed according to an independent and non identically…
Reconstructing 3D geometry and appearance from a sparse set of fixed cameras is a foundational task with broad applications, yet it remains fundamentally constrained by the limited viewpoints. We show that this bound can be broken by…
This work is focussed on the inversion task of inferring the distribution over parameters of interest leading to multiple sets of observations. The potential to solve such distributional inversion problems is driven by increasing…
Doppler lensing is the apparent change in object size and magnitude due to peculiar velocities. Objects falling into an overdensity appear larger on its near side, and smaller on its far side, than typical objects at the same redshifts.…
We present a computationally efficient expectation-maximization framework for multi-frame image deconvolution and super-resolution. Our method is well adapted for processing large scale imaging data from modern astronomical surveys. Our…
The deprojection of the surface brightness of axisymmetric galaxies is indeterminate unless the galaxy is seen edge-on. In practice, this problem is often circumvented by making ad hoc assumptions about the density distribution. However,…
