Abstract

One of the most interesting properties of the EM algorithm for image reconstruction from Poisson data is that, if initialized with a uniform image, the first iterations improve the quality of the reconstruction up to a point and it deteriorates later dramatically. This ’self- regularization’ behavior is explained in this article for a very simple noise model.We further study the influence of the scaling of the kernel of the operator involved on the total error of the EM algorithm. This is done in a semi- continuous setting and we compute lower bounds for the L1 risk. Numerical simulations and an example from fluorescence microscopy illustrate these results.
