Dictionary Learning for Blind One Bit Compressed Sensing
This letter proposes a dictionary learning algorithm for blind one bit
compressed sensing. In the blind one bit compressed sensing framework, the
original signal to be reconstructed from one bit linear random measurements is
sparse in an unknown domain. In this context, the multiplication of measurement
matrix \Ab and sparse domain matrix , \ie \Db=\Ab\Phi, should be
learned. Hence, we use dictionary learning to train this matrix. Towards that
end, an appropriate continuous convex cost function is suggested for one bit
compressed sensing and a simple steepest-descent method is exploited to learn
the rows of the matrix \Db. Experimental results show the effectiveness of
the proposed algorithm against the case of no dictionary learning, specially
with increasing the number of training signals and the number of sign
measurements.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Feedback Acquisition and Reconstruction of Spectrum-Sparse Signals by Predictive Level Comparisons
In this letter, we propose a sparsity promoting feedback acquisition and
reconstruction scheme for sensing, encoding and subsequent reconstruction of
spectrally sparse signals. In the proposed scheme, the spectral components are
estimated utilizing a sparsity-promoting, sliding-window algorithm in a
feedback loop. Utilizing the estimated spectral components, a level signal is
predicted and sign measurements of the prediction error are acquired. The
sparsity promoting algorithm can then estimate the spectral components
iteratively from the sign measurements. Unlike many batch-based Compressive
Sensing (CS) algorithms, our proposed algorithm gradually estimates and follows
slow changes in the sparse components utilizing a sliding-window technique. We
also consider the scenario in which possible flipping errors in the sign bits
propagate along iterations (due to the feedback loop) during reconstruction. We
propose an iterative error correction algorithm to cope with this error
propagation phenomenon considering a binary-sparse occurrence model on the
error sequence. Simulation results show effective performance of the proposed
scheme in comparison with the literature
Multi-modal dictionary learning for image separation with application in art investigation
In support of art investigation, we propose a new source separation method
that unmixes a single X-ray scan acquired from double-sided paintings. In this
problem, the X-ray signals to be separated have similar morphological
characteristics, which brings previous source separation methods to their
limits. Our solution is to use photographs taken from the front and back-side
of the panel to drive the separation process. The crux of our approach relies
on the coupling of the two imaging modalities (photographs and X-rays) using a
novel coupled dictionary learning framework able to capture both common and
disparate features across the modalities using parsimonious representations;
the common component models features shared by the multi-modal images, whereas
the innovation component captures modality-specific information. As such, our
model enables the formulation of appropriately regularized convex optimization
procedures that lead to the accurate separation of the X-rays. Our dictionary
learning framework can be tailored both to a single- and a multi-scale
framework, with the latter leading to a significant performance improvement.
Moreover, to improve further on the visual quality of the separated images, we
propose to train coupled dictionaries that ignore certain parts of the painting
corresponding to craquelure. Experimentation on synthetic and real data - taken
from digital acquisition of the Ghent Altarpiece (1432) - confirms the
superiority of our method against the state-of-the-art morphological component
analysis technique that uses either fixed or trained dictionaries to perform
image separation.Comment: submitted to IEEE Transactions on Images Processin
