Claims that Frankot-Chellappa and shapelets are special cases too (I disagree). The truly Poisson methods are unit-weight Poisson, $\alpha$-surface, M-estimators, Regularization (which seems mathematically incorrect), and Diffusion. In M-estimators and Regularization, the goal is to minimize a non-quadratic functions; uses iterative weight adjustment to reduce the nonquadratic problem to a quadratic one. The Diffusion method uses non-isotropic Laplacian and divergent estimators.} }
