Abstract

In this talk, I will present an overview of a research topic that I have been pursuing, off and on, for seven years. In that time, I have approached the problem from a number of angles—theoretically, computationally, and statistically—and it has borne, and continues to bear, nice fruit.

My main goal will be to keep the discussion accessible to a broad audience for as long as possible, always motivating the various explorations from a point of view grounded in intuition, pragmatism, and/or an appreciation for beauty that seems to me to distinguish the mathematician among scientists. In light of the former two, I will motivate the problem from its primary application in image processing.
