Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a rigorous variational formulation forthe detection of points in 2-d biological images. To this purposewe introduce a new functional whose minimizers give the points we want to detect. Then we define an approximating sequence of functionals forwhich we prove the Γ-convergence to the initial one.
