A projection algorithm on measures sets

We consider the problem of projecting a probability measure $\pi$ on a set $\mathcal{M}\_N$ of Radon measures. The projection is defined as a solution of the following variational problem:\begin{equation*}\inf\_{\mu\in \mathcal{M}\_N} \|h\star (\mu - \pi)\|\_2^2,\end{equation*}where $h\in L^2(\Omega...

Summary:We consider the problem of projecting a probability measure $\pi$ on a set $\mathcal{M}\_N$ of Radon measures. The projection is defined as a solution of the following variational problem:\begin{equation*}\inf\_{\mu\in \mathcal{M}\_N} \|h\star (\mu - \pi)\|\_2^2,\end{equation*}where $h\in L^2(\Omega)$ is a kernel, $\Omega\subset \R^d$ and $\star$ denotes the convolution operator.To motivate and illustrate our study, we show that this problem arises naturally in various practical image rendering problems such as stippling (representing an image with $N$ dots) or continuous line drawing (representing an image with a continuous line).We provide a necessary and sufficient condition on the sequence $(\mathcal{M}\_N)\_{N\in \N}$ that ensures weak convergence of the projections $(\mu^*\_N)\_{N\in \N}$ to $\pi$.We then provide a numerical algorithm to solve a discretized version of the problem and show several illustrations related to computer-assisted synthesis of artistic paintings/drawings.
