• Abstract: In many applications such as medical imaging, the measurement data represent counts of photons hitting a detector. Such counts in low-photon settings are often modeled using a Poisson distribution. However, this model assumes that the mean and variance of the signal's noise distribution are equal. For overdispersed data where the variance is greater than the mean, the negative binomial distribution is a more appropriate statistical model. In this paper, we propose an optimization approach for recovering images corrupted by overdispersed Poisson noise. In particular, we incorporate a weighted anisotropic-isotropic total variation regularizer, which avoids staircasing artifacts that are introduced by a regular total variation penalty. We use an alternating direction method of multipliers, where each subproblem has a closed-form solution. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach, especially in very photon-limited settings.

  Poisson noise commonly occurs in images captured by photon-limited imaging systems such as in astronomy and medicine.

We then develop an alternating direction method of multipliers with a combination of a proximal operator for an efficient implementation.

  Inverse tasks can be formulated as inferring a posterior distribution over data.

We propose a variational approach that by design seeks to approximate the true posterior distribution.

We describe an alternative approach that avoids the well-known problem of shrinkage or underestimation of variance. Using estimated quantiles to compute mean and variance under the Gaussian assumption, we compute reconstruction probability as a principled approach to outlier or anomaly detection.
