Compressive Sensing for PAN-Sharpening
Based on compressive sensing framework and sparse reconstruction technology, a new pan-sharpening method, named Sparse Fusion of Images (SparseFI, pronounced as sparsify), is proposed in [1]. In this paper, the proposed SparseFI algorithm is validated using UltraCam and WorldView-2 data. Visual and statistic analysis show superior performance of SparseFI compared to the existing conventional pan-sharpening methods in general, i.e. rich in spatial information and less spectral distortion. Moreover, popular quality assessment metrics are employed to explore the dependency on regularization parameters and evaluate the efficiency of various sparse reconstruction toolboxes
Compressively Sensed Image Recognition
Compressive Sensing (CS) theory asserts that sparse signal reconstruction is
possible from a small number of linear measurements. Although CS enables
low-cost linear sampling, it requires non-linear and costly reconstruction.
Recent literature works show that compressive image classification is possible
in CS domain without reconstruction of the signal. In this work, we introduce a
DCT base method that extracts binary discriminative features directly from CS
measurements. These CS measurements can be obtained by using (i) a random or a
pseudo-random measurement matrix, or (ii) a measurement matrix whose elements
are learned from the training data to optimize the given classification task.
We further introduce feature fusion by concatenating Bag of Words (BoW)
representation of our binary features with one of the two state-of-the-art
CNN-based feature vectors. We show that our fused feature outperforms the
state-of-the-art in both cases.Comment: 6 pages, submitted/accepted, EUVIP 201
Graded quantization for multiple description coding of compressive measurements
Compressed sensing (CS) is an emerging paradigm for acquisition of compressed
representations of a sparse signal. Its low complexity is appealing for
resource-constrained scenarios like sensor networks. However, such scenarios
are often coupled with unreliable communication channels and providing robust
transmission of the acquired data to a receiver is an issue. Multiple
description coding (MDC) effectively combats channel losses for systems without
feedback, thus raising the interest in developing MDC methods explicitly
designed for the CS framework, and exploiting its properties. We propose a
method called Graded Quantization (CS-GQ) that leverages the democratic
property of compressive measurements to effectively implement MDC, and we
provide methods to optimize its performance. A novel decoding algorithm based
on the alternating directions method of multipliers is derived to reconstruct
signals from a limited number of received descriptions. Simulations are
performed to assess the performance of CS-GQ against other methods in presence
of packet losses. The proposed method is successful at providing robust coding
of CS measurements and outperforms other schemes for the considered test
metrics
SurfelWarp: Efficient Non-Volumetric Single View Dynamic Reconstruction
We contribute a dense SLAM system that takes a live stream of depth images as
input and reconstructs non-rigid deforming scenes in real time, without
templates or prior models. In contrast to existing approaches, we do not
maintain any volumetric data structures, such as truncated signed distance
function (TSDF) fields or deformation fields, which are performance and memory
intensive. Our system works with a flat point (surfel) based representation of
geometry, which can be directly acquired from commodity depth sensors. Standard
graphics pipelines and general purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing are leveraged for
all central operations: i.e., nearest neighbor maintenance, non-rigid
deformation field estimation and fusion of depth measurements. Our pipeline
inherently avoids expensive volumetric operations such as marching cubes,
volumetric fusion and dense deformation field update, leading to significantly
improved performance. Furthermore, the explicit and flexible surfel based
geometry representation enables efficient tackling of topology changes and
tracking failures, which makes our reconstructions consistent with updated
depth observations. Our system allows robots to maintain a scene description
with non-rigidly deformed objects that potentially enables interactions with
dynamic working environments.Comment: RSS 2018. The video and source code are available on

A fast and accurate basis pursuit denoising algorithm with application to super-resolving tomographic SAR
regularization is used for finding sparse solutions to an
underdetermined linear system. As sparse signals are widely expected in remote
sensing, this type of regularization scheme and its extensions have been widely
employed in many remote sensing problems, such as image fusion, target
detection, image super-resolution, and others and have led to promising
results. However, solving such sparse reconstruction problems is
computationally expensive and has limitations in its practical use. In this
paper, we proposed a novel efficient algorithm for solving the complex-valued
regularized least squares problem. Taking the high-dimensional
tomographic synthetic aperture radar (TomoSAR) as a practical example, we
carried out extensive experiments, both with simulation data and real data, to
demonstrate that the proposed approach can retain the accuracy of second order
methods while dramatically speeding up the processing by one or two orders.
Although we have chosen TomoSAR as the example, the proposed method can be
generally applied to any spectral estimation problems.Comment: 11 pages, IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensin
