This paper presents a statistical forward model for a Compton imaging system, called Compton imager. This system, under development at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, is a variant of Compton cameras with a single type of…

This paper investigates the sparse optimal allocation of sensors for detecting sparse leaking emission sources. Because of the non-negativity of emission rates, uncertainty associated with parameters in the forward model, and sparsity of…

We formulate the inverse problem in a Bayesian framework and aim to train a generative model that allows us to simulate (i.e., sample from the likelihood) and do inference (i.e., sample from the posterior). We review the use of triangular…
