Deep Networks for Compressed Image Sensing
The compressed sensing (CS) theory has been successfully applied to image
compression in the past few years as most image signals are sparse in a certain
domain. Several CS reconstruction models have been recently proposed and
obtained superior performance. However, there still exist two important
challenges within the CS theory. The first one is how to design a sampling
mechanism to achieve an optimal sampling efficiency, and the second one is how
to perform the reconstruction to get the highest quality to achieve an optimal
signal recovery. In this paper, we try to deal with these two problems with a
deep network. First of all, we train a sampling matrix via the network training
instead of using a traditional manually designed one, which is much appropriate
for our deep network based reconstruct process. Then, we propose a deep network
to recover the image, which imitates traditional compressed sensing
reconstruction processes. Experimental results demonstrate that our deep
networks based CS reconstruction method offers a very significant quality
improvement compared against state of the art ones.Comment: This paper has been accepted by the IEEE International Conference on

ISTA-Net: Interpretable Optimization-Inspired Deep Network for Image Compressive Sensing
With the aim of developing a fast yet accurate algorithm for compressive
sensing (CS) reconstruction of natural images, we combine in this paper the
merits of two existing categories of CS methods: the structure insights of
traditional optimization-based methods and the speed of recent network-based
ones. Specifically, we propose a novel structured deep network, dubbed
ISTA-Net, which is inspired by the Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm
(ISTA) for optimizing a general norm CS reconstruction model. To cast
ISTA into deep network form, we develop an effective strategy to solve the
proximal mapping associated with the sparsity-inducing regularizer using
nonlinear transforms. All the parameters in ISTA-Net (\eg nonlinear transforms,
shrinkage thresholds, step sizes, etc.) are learned end-to-end, rather than
being hand-crafted. Moreover, considering that the residuals of natural images
are more compressible, an enhanced version of ISTA-Net in the residual domain,
dubbed {ISTA-Net}, is derived to further improve CS reconstruction.
Extensive CS experiments demonstrate that the proposed ISTA-Nets outperform
existing state-of-the-art optimization-based and network-based CS methods by
large margins, while maintaining fast computational speed. Our source codes are
