Compressive Source Separation: Theory and Methods for Hyperspectral Imaging
With the development of numbers of high resolution data acquisition systems
and the global requirement to lower the energy consumption, the development of
efficient sensing techniques becomes critical. Recently, Compressed Sampling
(CS) techniques, which exploit the sparsity of signals, have allowed to
reconstruct signal and images with less measurements than the traditional
Nyquist sensing approach. However, multichannel signals like Hyperspectral
images (HSI) have additional structures, like inter-channel correlations, that
are not taken into account in the classical CS scheme. In this paper we exploit
the linear mixture of sources model, that is the assumption that the
multichannel signal is composed of a linear combination of sources, each of
them having its own spectral signature, and propose new sampling schemes
exploiting this model to considerably decrease the number of measurements
needed for the acquisition and source separation. Moreover, we give theoretical
lower bounds on the number of measurements required to perform reconstruction
of both the multichannel signal and its sources. We also proposed optimization
algorithms and extensive experimentation on our target application which is
HSI, and show that our approach recovers HSI with far less measurements and
computational effort than traditional CS approaches.Comment: 32 page

Uniform Recovery from Subgaussian Multi-Sensor Measurements
Parallel acquisition systems are employed successfully in a variety of
different sensing applications when a single sensor cannot provide enough
measurements for a high-quality reconstruction. In this paper, we consider
compressed sensing (CS) for parallel acquisition systems when the individual
sensors use subgaussian random sampling. Our main results are a series of
uniform recovery guarantees which relate the number of measurements required to
the basis in which the solution is sparse and certain characteristics of the
multi-sensor system, known as sensor profile matrices. In particular, we derive
sufficient conditions for optimal recovery, in the sense that the number of
measurements required per sensor decreases linearly with the total number of
sensors, and demonstrate explicit examples of multi-sensor systems for which
this holds. We establish these results by proving the so-called Asymmetric
Restricted Isometry Property (ARIP) for the sensing system and use this to
derive both nonuniversal and universal recovery guarantees. Compared to
existing work, our results not only lead to better stability and robustness
estimates but also provide simpler and sharper constants in the measurement
conditions. Finally, we show how the problem of CS with block-diagonal sensing
matrices can be viewed as a particular case of our multi-sensor framework.
Specializing our results to this setting leads to a recovery guarantee that is
at least as good as existing results.Comment: 37 pages, 5 figure
Time for dithering: fast and quantized random embeddings via the restricted isometry property
Recently, many works have focused on the characterization of non-linear
dimensionality reduction methods obtained by quantizing linear embeddings,
e.g., to reach fast processing time, efficient data compression procedures,
novel geometry-preserving embeddings or to estimate the information/bits stored
in this reduced data representation. In this work, we prove that many linear
maps known to respect the restricted isometry property (RIP) can induce a
quantized random embedding with controllable multiplicative and additive
distortions with respect to the pairwise distances of the data points beings
considered. In other words, linear matrices having fast matrix-vector
multiplication algorithms (e.g., based on partial Fourier ensembles or on the
adjacency matrix of unbalanced expanders) can be readily used in the definition
of fast quantized embeddings with small distortions. This implication is made
possible by applying right after the linear map an additive and random "dither"
that stabilizes the impact of the uniform scalar quantization operator applied
afterwards. For different categories of RIP matrices, i.e., for different
linear embeddings of a metric space
in with , we derive upper bounds on the
additive distortion induced by quantization, showing that it decays either when
the embedding dimension increases or when the distance of a pair of
embedded vectors in decreases. Finally, we develop a novel
"bi-dithered" quantization scheme, which allows for a reduced distortion that
decreases when the embedding dimension grows and independently of the
considered pair of vectors.Comment: Keywords: random projections, non-linear embeddings, quantization,

Roadmap on optical security
Information security and authentication are important challenges facing society. Recent attacks by hackers on the databases of large commercial and financial companies have demonstrated that more research and development of advanced approaches are necessary to deny unauthorized access to critical data. Free space optical technology has been investigated by many researchers in information security, encryption, and authentication. The main motivation for using optics and photonics for information security is that optical waveforms possess many complex degrees of freedom such as amplitude, phase, polarization, large bandwidth, nonlinear transformations, quantum properties of photons, and multiplexing that can be combined in many ways to make information encryption more secure and more difficult to attack. This roadmap article presents an overview of the potential, recent advances, and challenges of optical security and encryption using free space optics. The roadmap on optical security is comprised of six categories that together include 16 short sections written by authors who have made relevant contributions in this field. The first category of this roadmap describes novel encryption approaches, including secure optical sensing which summarizes double random phase encryption applications and flaws [Yamaguchi], the digital holographic encryption in free space optical technique which describes encryption using multidimensional digital holography [Nomura], simultaneous encryption of multiple signals [Pérez-Cabré], asymmetric methods based on information truncation [Nishchal], and dynamic encryption of video sequences [Torroba]. Asymmetric and one-way cryptosystems are analyzed by Peng. The second category is on compression for encryption. In their respective contributions, Alfalou and Stern propose similar goals involving compressed data and compressive sensing encryption. The very important area of cryptanalysis is the topic of the third category with two sections: Sheridan reviews phase retrieval algorithms to perform different attacks, whereas Situ discusses nonlinear optical encryption techniques and the development of a rigorous optical information security theory. The fourth category with two contributions reports how encryption could be implemented at the nano- or micro-scale. Naruse discusses the use of nanostructures in security applications and Carnicer proposes encoding information in a tightly focused beam. In the fifth category, encryption based on ghost imaging using single-pixel detectors is also considered. In particular, the authors [Chen, Tajahuerce] emphasize the need for more specialized hardware and image processing algorithms. Finally, in the sixth category, Mosk and Javidi analyze in their corresponding papers how quantum imaging can benefit optical encryption systems. Sources that use few photons make encryption systems much more difficult to attack, providing a secure method for authentication.Centro de Investigaciones ÓpticasConsejo Nacional de Investigaciones CientÃficas y Técnica
