Compressive X-ray phase tomography based on the transport of intensity equation
We develop and implement a compressive reconstruction method for tomographic
recovery of refractive index distribution for weakly attenuating objects in a
microfocus X-ray system. This is achieved through the development of a
discretized operator modeling both the transport of intensity equation and
X-ray transform that is suitable for iterative reconstruction techniques
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

A Framework for Directional and Higher-Order Reconstruction in Photoacoustic Tomography
Photoacoustic tomography is a hybrid imaging technique that combines high
optical tissue contrast with high ultrasound resolution. Direct reconstruction
methods such as filtered backprojection, time reversal and least squares suffer
from curved line artefacts and blurring, especially in case of limited angles
or strong noise. In recent years, there has been great interest in regularised
iterative methods. These methods employ prior knowledge on the image to provide
higher quality reconstructions. However, easy comparisons between regularisers
and their properties are limited, since many tomography implementations heavily
rely on the specific regulariser chosen. To overcome this bottleneck, we
present a modular reconstruction framework for photoacoustic tomography. It
enables easy comparisons between regularisers with different properties, e.g.
nonlinear, higher-order or directional. We solve the underlying minimisation
problem with an efficient first-order primal-dual algorithm. Convergence rates
are optimised by choosing an operator dependent preconditioning strategy. Our
reconstruction methods are tested on challenging 2D synthetic and experimental
data sets. They outperform direct reconstruction approaches for strong noise
levels and limited angle measurements, offering immediate benefits in terms of
acquisition time and quality. This work provides a basic platform for the
investigation of future advanced regularisation methods in photoacoustic
tomography.Comment: submitted to "Physics in Medicine and Biology". Changes from v1 to
v2: regularisation with directional wavelet has been added; new experimental
tests have been include
Generalized Inpainting Method for Hyperspectral Image Acquisition
A recently designed hyperspectral imaging device enables multiplexed
acquisition of an entire data volume in a single snapshot thanks to
monolithically-integrated spectral filters. Such an agile imaging technique
comes at the cost of a reduced spatial resolution and the need for a
demosaicing procedure on its interleaved data. In this work, we address both
issues and propose an approach inspired by recent developments in compressed
sensing and analysis sparse models. We formulate our superresolution and
demosaicing task as a 3-D generalized inpainting problem. Interestingly, the
target spatial resolution can be adjusted for mitigating the compression level
of our sensing. The reconstruction procedure uses a fast greedy method called
Pseudo-inverse IHT. We also show on simulations that a random arrangement of
the spectral filters on the sensor is preferable to regular mosaic layout as it
improves the quality of the reconstruction. The efficiency of our technique is
demonstrated through numerical experiments on both synthetic and real data as
acquired by the snapshot imager.Comment: Keywords: Hyperspectral, inpainting, iterative hard thresholding,
