Abstract

We consider a two-dimensional (2-D) problem of positron-emission tomography (PET) where the random mechanism of the generation of the tomographic data is modeled by Poisson processes. The goal is to estimate the intensity function which corresponds to emission density. Using the wavelet-vaguelette decomposition (WVD), we propose an estimator based on thresholding of empirical vaguelette coefficients which attains the minimax rates of convergence on Besov function classes. Furthermore, we construct an adaptive estimator which attains the optimal rate of convergence up to a logarithmic term.
