Research

Van Lieshout and her co-authors worked on stochastic geometry and its applications. The main strands of work were: development of new summary statistics for inhomogeneous, marked space time point processes with application to the assessment of earthquake risks, introduction and study of a new class of sequential point processes with a view to depth map calculation and tracking of objects in video data, the use of Gibbsian modifications of polygonal Markov fields and their discrete counterparts combined with new and efficient simulation methods for image segmentation.
