Shape from Shading - Stereo Fotometrico: un nuovo approccio analitico e numerico

Il seminario è incentrato su una nuova modellizzazione del problema di SfS attraverso l'utilizzo di tecniche Stereo Fotometriche SfS-SF (ossia tramite l'utilizzo di due o più immagini digitali). Il si...

Variational Methods for the Solution of Inverse Problems

In the paper we give an overview on variational regularization methods in Banach spaces. The theory is developed based on the classical theory of regularization methods in Hilbert spaces. An essential...

Dynamic Sensor Tasking for Space Situational Awareness

This talk will present recent research on the use of information-theoretic approaches for managing the sensor network responsible for detecting, tracking, and cataloging space objects in support of sp...

Diffusion geometry in shape analysis

Diffusion geometry, scale-space analysis, and study of heat propagation on manifolds have recently become a popular tool in data analysis in a variety of applications. In this talk, we will explore th...

Fast numerical solution of inverse problems in image processing

A general principle for dealing with the intrinsic numerical instability of most inverse problems is that of regularization. Among the regularization approaches the first one is Tikhonov regularizatio...

A multi-phalanx self-similar robot hand model

We introduce a model for a robot hand based on the theory of expansions in non-integer bases. Self-similarity of configurations and an arbitrarily large number of fingers (including the opposable thum...

A semi-discrete in time approximation for a model first order-finite horizon mean field game problem

In this talk we consider a model first order mean field game problem, introduced by J.M. Lasry and P.L. Lions. Its solution (v,m) can be obtained as the limit of the solutions of the second order mean...

State-constrained optimal control problems with BV trajectories

We investigate an optimal control problem governed by differential equations with Radon measure as data in presence of state constraints. By using the method of graph completion for the measure, the o...

Control of Dynamic Systems with Multiple Objectives

The challenges of controlling multiple agent dynamic systems with multiple objectives are related to and furthermore include problems in multi-player dynamic games, multiobjective optimization, and de...

Hamilton-Jacobi approach for some state-constrained control problems

We will consider a class of state-constrained control problems lacking controllability assumptions and we will review some results on the characterization of the value function as solution of an appro...

Analysis and approximation of Hamilton-Jacobi equations with irregular data

We will present some numerical schemes for some non classical Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We will consider an Eikonal equation with discontinuous coefficients. In this case, through a particular condit...

(In)homogeneity & (an)isotropy-- composite materials, optimal paths, and computational challenges of homogenization

I will briefly discuss the separate computational challenges posed by anisotropy & inhomogeneity in front propagation and optimal control problems. The idea of "homogenization" will be introduced ...
