Graph Spectral Image Processing
Recent advent of graph signal processing (GSP) has spurred intensive studies
of signals that live naturally on irregular data kernels described by graphs
(e.g., social networks, wireless sensor networks). Though a digital image
contains pixels that reside on a regularly sampled 2D grid, if one can design
an appropriate underlying graph connecting pixels with weights that reflect the
image structure, then one can interpret the image (or image patch) as a signal
on a graph, and apply GSP tools for processing and analysis of the signal in
graph spectral domain. In this article, we overview recent graph spectral
techniques in GSP specifically for image / video processing. The topics covered
include image compression, image restoration, image filtering and image
segmentation
Discrete Signal Processing on Graphs: Frequency Analysis
Signals and datasets that arise in physical and engineering applications, as
well as social, genetics, biomolecular, and many other domains, are becoming
increasingly larger and more complex. In contrast to traditional time and image
signals, data in these domains are supported by arbitrary graphs. Signal
processing on graphs extends concepts and techniques from traditional signal
processing to data indexed by generic graphs. This paper studies the concepts
of low and high frequencies on graphs, and low-, high-, and band-pass graph
filters. In traditional signal processing, there concepts are easily defined
because of a natural frequency ordering that has a physical interpretation. For
signals residing on graphs, in general, there is no obvious frequency ordering.
We propose a definition of total variation for graph signals that naturally
leads to a frequency ordering on graphs and defines low-, high-, and band-pass
graph signals and filters. We study the design of graph filters with specified
frequency response, and illustrate our approach with applications to sensor
malfunction detection and data classification
