Pushing towards the Limit of Sampling Rate: Adaptive Chasing Sampling
Measurement samples are often taken in various monitoring applications. To
reduce the sensing cost, it is desirable to achieve better sensing quality
while using fewer samples. Compressive Sensing (CS) technique finds its role
when the signal to be sampled meets certain sparsity requirements. In this
paper we investigate the possibility and basic techniques that could further
reduce the number of samples involved in conventional CS theory by exploiting
learning-based non-uniform adaptive sampling.
Based on a typical signal sensing application, we illustrate and evaluate the
performance of two of our algorithms, Individual Chasing and Centroid Chasing,
for signals of different distribution features. Our proposed learning-based
adaptive sampling schemes complement existing efforts in CS fields and do not
depend on any specific signal reconstruction technique. Compared to
conventional sparse sampling methods, the simulation results demonstrate that
our algorithms allow less number of samples for accurate signal
reconstruction and achieve up to smaller signal reconstruction error
under the same noise condition.Comment: 9 pages, IEEE MASS 201
Distributed Representation of Geometrically Correlated Images with Compressed Linear Measurements
This paper addresses the problem of distributed coding of images whose
correlation is driven by the motion of objects or positioning of the vision
sensors. It concentrates on the problem where images are encoded with
compressed linear measurements. We propose a geometry-based correlation model
in order to describe the common information in pairs of images. We assume that
the constitutive components of natural images can be captured by visual
features that undergo local transformations (e.g., translation) in different
images. We first identify prominent visual features by computing a sparse
approximation of a reference image with a dictionary of geometric basis
functions. We then pose a regularized optimization problem to estimate the
corresponding features in correlated images given by quantized linear
measurements. The estimated features have to comply with the compressed
information and to represent consistent transformation between images. The
correlation model is given by the relative geometric transformations between
corresponding features. We then propose an efficient joint decoding algorithm
that estimates the compressed images such that they stay consistent with both
the quantized measurements and the correlation model. Experimental results show
that the proposed algorithm effectively estimates the correlation between
images in multi-view datasets. In addition, the proposed algorithm provides
effective decoding performance that compares advantageously to independent
coding solutions as well as state-of-the-art distributed coding schemes based
on disparity learning
SimpleTrack:Adaptive Trajectory Compression with Deterministic Projection Matrix for Mobile Sensor Networks
Some mobile sensor network applications require the sensor nodes to transfer
their trajectories to a data sink. This paper proposes an adaptive trajectory
(lossy) compression algorithm based on compressive sensing. The algorithm has
two innovative elements. First, we propose a method to compute a deterministic
projection matrix from a learnt dictionary. Second, we propose a method for the
mobile nodes to adaptively predict the number of projections needed based on
the speed of the mobile nodes. Extensive evaluation of the proposed algorithm
using 6 datasets shows that our proposed algorithm can achieve sub-metre
accuracy. In addition, our method of computing projection matrices outperforms
two existing methods. Finally, comparison of our algorithm against a
state-of-the-art trajectory compression algorithm show that our algorithm can
reduce the error by 10-60 cm for the same compression ratio
