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

A Deep Cascade of Convolutional Neural Networks for MR Image Reconstruction
The acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is inherently slow.
Inspired by recent advances in deep learning, we propose a framework for
reconstructing MR images from undersampled data using a deep cascade of
convolutional neural networks to accelerate the data acquisition process. We
show that for Cartesian undersampling of 2D cardiac MR images, the proposed
method outperforms the state-of-the-art compressed sensing approaches, such as
dictionary learning-based MRI (DLMRI) reconstruction, in terms of
reconstruction error, perceptual quality and reconstruction speed for both
3-fold and 6-fold undersampling. Compared to DLMRI, the error produced by the
method proposed is approximately twice as small, allowing to preserve
anatomical structures more faithfully. Using our method, each image can be
reconstructed in 23 ms, which is fast enough to enable real-time applications
