Distributed Representation of Geometrically Correlated Images with Compressed Linear Measurements
This paper addresses the problem of distributed coding of images whose
correlation is driven by the motion of objects or positioning of the vision
sensors. It concentrates on the problem where images are encoded with
compressed linear measurements. We propose a geometry-based correlation model
in order to describe the common information in pairs of images. We assume that
the constitutive components of natural images can be captured by visual
features that undergo local transformations (e.g., translation) in different
images. We first identify prominent visual features by computing a sparse
approximation of a reference image with a dictionary of geometric basis
functions. We then pose a regularized optimization problem to estimate the
corresponding features in correlated images given by quantized linear
measurements. The estimated features have to comply with the compressed
information and to represent consistent transformation between images. The
correlation model is given by the relative geometric transformations between
corresponding features. We then propose an efficient joint decoding algorithm
that estimates the compressed images such that they stay consistent with both
the quantized measurements and the correlation model. Experimental results show
that the proposed algorithm effectively estimates the correlation between
images in multi-view datasets. In addition, the proposed algorithm provides
effective decoding performance that compares advantageously to independent
coding solutions as well as state-of-the-art distributed coding schemes based
on disparity learning
Analysis of Fisher Information and the Cram\'{e}r-Rao Bound for Nonlinear Parameter Estimation after Compressed Sensing
In this paper, we analyze the impact of compressed sensing with complex
random matrices on Fisher information and the Cram\'{e}r-Rao Bound (CRB) for
estimating unknown parameters in the mean value function of a complex
multivariate normal distribution. We consider the class of random compression
matrices whose distribution is right-orthogonally invariant. The compression
matrix whose elements are i.i.d. standard normal random variables is one such
matrix. We show that for all such compression matrices, the Fisher information
matrix has a complex matrix beta distribution. We also derive the distribution
of CRB. These distributions can be used to quantify the loss in CRB as a
function of the Fisher information of the non-compressed data. In our numerical
examples, we consider a direction of arrival estimation problem and discuss the
use of these distributions as guidelines for choosing compression ratios based
on the resulting loss in CRB.Comment: 12 pages, 3figure
Distributed Quantization for Compressed Sensing
We study distributed coding of compressed sensing (CS) measurements using
vector quantizer (VQ). We develop a distributed framework for realizing
optimized quantizer that enables encoding CS measurements of correlated sparse
sources followed by joint decoding at a fusion center. The optimality of VQ
encoder-decoder pairs is addressed by minimizing the sum of mean-square errors
between the sparse sources and their reconstruction vectors at the fusion
center. We derive a lower-bound on the end-to-end performance of the studied
distributed system, and propose a practical encoder-decoder design through an
iterative algorithm.Comment: 5 Pages, Accepted for presentation in ICASSP 201
