Graph Signal Sampling Under Stochastic Priors
We propose a generalized sampling framework for stochastic graph signals.
Stochastic graph signals are characterized by graph wide sense stationarity
(GWSS) which is an extension of wide sense stationarity (WSS) for standard
time-domain signals. In this paper, graph signals are assumed to satisfy the
GWSS conditions and we study their sampling as well as recovery procedures. In
generalized sampling, a correction filter is inserted between sampling and
reconstruction operators to compensate for non-ideal measurements. We propose a
design method for the correction filters to reduce the mean-squared error (MSE)
between original and reconstructed graph signals. We derive the correction
filters for two cases: The reconstruction filter is arbitrarily chosen or
predefined. The proposed framework allows for arbitrary sampling methods, i.e.,
sampling in the vertex or graph frequency domain. We also show that the graph
spectral response of the resulting correction filter parallels that for
generalized sampling for WSS signals if sampling is performed in the graph
frequency domain. Furthermore, we reveal the theoretical connection between the
proposed and existing correction filters. The effectiveness of our approach is
validated via experiments by comparing its MSE with existing approaches
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
Low Complexity Regularization of Linear Inverse Problems
Inverse problems and regularization theory is a central theme in contemporary
signal processing, where the goal is to reconstruct an unknown signal from
partial indirect, and possibly noisy, measurements of it. A now standard method
for recovering the unknown signal is to solve a convex optimization problem
that enforces some prior knowledge about its structure. This has proved
efficient in many problems routinely encountered in imaging sciences,
statistics and machine learning. This chapter delivers a review of recent
advances in the field where the regularization prior promotes solutions
conforming to some notion of simplicity/low-complexity. These priors encompass
as popular examples sparsity and group sparsity (to capture the compressibility
of natural signals and images), total variation and analysis sparsity (to
promote piecewise regularity), and low-rank (as natural extension of sparsity
to matrix-valued data). Our aim is to provide a unified treatment of all these
regularizations under a single umbrella, namely the theory of partial
smoothness. This framework is very general and accommodates all low-complexity
regularizers just mentioned, as well as many others. Partial smoothness turns
out to be the canonical way to encode low-dimensional models that can be linear
spaces or more general smooth manifolds. This review is intended to serve as a
one stop shop toward the understanding of the theoretical properties of the
so-regularized solutions. It covers a large spectrum including: (i) recovery
guarantees and stability to noise, both in terms of -stability and
model (manifold) identification; (ii) sensitivity analysis to perturbations of
the parameters involved (in particular the observations), with applications to
unbiased risk estimation ; (iii) convergence properties of the forward-backward
proximal splitting scheme, that is particularly well suited to solve the
corresponding large-scale regularized optimization problem
Advances in Hyperspectral Image Classification: Earth monitoring with statistical learning methods
Hyperspectral images show similar statistical properties to natural grayscale
or color photographic images. However, the classification of hyperspectral
images is more challenging because of the very high dimensionality of the
pixels and the small number of labeled examples typically available for
learning. These peculiarities lead to particular signal processing problems,
mainly characterized by indetermination and complex manifolds. The framework of
statistical learning has gained popularity in the last decade. New methods have
been presented to account for the spatial homogeneity of images, to include
user's interaction via active learning, to take advantage of the manifold
structure with semisupervised learning, to extract and encode invariances, or
to adapt classifiers and image representations to unseen yet similar scenes.
This tutuorial reviews the main advances for hyperspectral remote sensing image
classification through illustrative examples.Comment: IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 201
Multi-channel Sampling on Graphs and Its Relationship to Graph Filter Banks
In this paper, we consider multi-channel sampling (MCS) for graph signals. We
generally encounter full-band graph signals beyond the bandlimited one in many
applications, such as piecewise constant/smooth and union of bandlimited graph
signals. Full-band graph signals can be represented by a mixture of multiple
signals conforming to different generation models. This requires the analysis
of graph signals via multiple sampling systems, i.e., MCS, while existing
approaches only consider single-channel sampling. We develop a MCS framework
based on generalized sampling. We also present a sampling set selection (SSS)
method for the proposed MCS so that the graph signal is best recovered.
Furthermore, we reveal that existing graph filter banks can be viewed as a
special case of the proposed MCS. In signal recovery experiments, the proposed
method exhibits the effectiveness of recovery for full-band graph signals
