Noise Removal from Remote Sensed Images by NonLocal Means with OpenCL Algorithm

We introduce a multi-platform portable implementation of the NonLocal Means methodology aimed at noise removal from remotely sensed images. It is particularly suited for hyperspectral sensors for which real-time applications are not possible with only CPU based algorithms. In the last decades…

A class of risk processes with reserve-dependent premium rate: sample path large deviations and importance sampling

For a risk process with reserve dependent premium rate, we study sample path large deviations and provide a fast simulation procedure to estimate the corresponding ruin probability.

Ten years of MIPAS measurements with ESA Level 2 processor V6 - Part I: retrieval algorithm and diagnostics of the products

The MIPAS instrument on the ENVISAT satellite has provided vertical profiles of the atmospheric composition on a global scale for almost ten years. The MIPAS mission is divided in two phases, the full resolution phase, from 2002 to 2004, and the optimized resolution phase, from 2005 to 2012, which…

Euler polynomials and the related quadrature rule

The use of Euler polynomials and Euler numbers allows us to construct a quadrature rule similar to the well-known Euler--MacLaurin quadrature formula, using Euler (instead of Bernoulli) numbers, and even (instead of odd) order derivatives of a given function evaluated at the extrema of the…

On the asymptotic stability of linear Volterra difference equations of convolution type

We show that the condition is not necessary, though sufficient, for the asymptotic stability of . We prove the existence of a class of Volterra difference equations (VDEs) that violate this condition but whose zero solutions are asymptotically stable.

Existence and regularity of minimizers of a functional for unsupervised multiphase segmentation

We consider a variational model for image segmentation proposed in Sandberg et al. (2010) [12]. In such a model the image domain is partitioned into a finite collection of subsets denoted as phases. The segmentation is unsupervised, i.e., the model finds automatically an optimal number of phases,…

Characterizing networks of propaganda on twitter: a case study

The daily exposure of social media users to propaganda and disinformation campaigns has reinvigorated the need to investigate the local and global patterns of diffusion of different (mis)information content on social media. Echo chambers and influencers are often deemed responsible of both the…
