Hybrid optimization and Bayesian inference techniques for a non-smooth radiation detection problem

Abstract: In this investigation, we propose several algorithms to recover the location and intensity of a radiation source located in a simulated 250 m × 180 m block in an urban center based on synthetic measurements. Radioactive decay and detection are Poisson random processes, so we employ likelihood functions based on this distribution. Due to the domain geometry and the proposed response model, the negative logarithm of the likelihood is only piecewise continuous differentiable, and it has multiple local minima. To … Show more
