Nonlinear Basis Pursuit
In compressive sensing, the basis pursuit algorithm aims to find the sparsest
solution to an underdetermined linear equation system. In this paper, we
generalize basis pursuit to finding the sparsest solution to higher order
nonlinear systems of equations, called nonlinear basis pursuit. In contrast to
the existing nonlinear compressive sensing methods, the new algorithm that
solves the nonlinear basis pursuit problem is convex and not greedy. The novel
algorithm enables the compressive sensing approach to be used for a broader
range of applications where there are nonlinear relationships between the
measurements and the unknowns
Signal Recovery From Random Measurements Via Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
This paper demonstrates theoretically and empirically that a greedy algorithm called Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) can reliably recover a signal with nonzero entries in dimension given random linear measurements of that signal. This is a massive improvement over previous results, which require measurements. The new results for OMP are comparable with recent results for another approach called Basis Pursuit (BP). In some settings, the OMP algorithm is faster and easier to implement, so it is an attractive alternative to BP for signal recovery problems
A* Orthogonal Matching Pursuit: Best-First Search for Compressed Sensing Signal Recovery
Compressed sensing is a developing field aiming at reconstruction of sparse
signals acquired in reduced dimensions, which make the recovery process
under-determined. The required solution is the one with minimum norm
due to sparsity, however it is not practical to solve the minimization
problem. Commonly used techniques include minimization, such as Basis
Pursuit (BP) and greedy pursuit algorithms such as Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
(OMP) and Subspace Pursuit (SP). This manuscript proposes a novel semi-greedy
recovery approach, namely A* Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (A*OMP). A*OMP
performs A* search to look for the sparsest solution on a tree whose paths grow
similar to the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm. Paths on the tree
are evaluated according to a cost function, which should compensate for
different path lengths. For this purpose, three different auxiliary structures
are defined, including novel dynamic ones. A*OMP also incorporates pruning
techniques which enable practical applications of the algorithm. Moreover, the
adjustable search parameters provide means for a complexity-accuracy trade-off.
We demonstrate the reconstruction ability of the proposed scheme on both
synthetically generated data and images using Gaussian and Bernoulli
observation matrices, where A*OMP yields less reconstruction error and higher
exact recovery frequency than BP, OMP and SP. Results also indicate that novel
dynamic cost functions provide improved results as compared to a conventional
choice.Comment: accepted for publication in Digital Signal Processin
Topics in Compressed Sensing
Compressed sensing has a wide range of applications that include error correction, imaging, radar and many more. Given a sparse signal in a high dimensional space, one wishes to reconstruct that signal accurately and efficiently from a number of linear measurements much less than its actual dimension. Although in theory it is clear that this is possible, the difficulty lies in the construction of algorithms that perform the recovery efficiently, as well as determining which kind of linear measurements allow for the reconstruction. There have been two distinct major approaches to sparse recovery that each present different benefits and shortcomings. The first, L1-minimization methods such as Basis Pursuit, use a linear optimization problem to recover the signal. This method provides strong guarantees and stability, but relies on Linear Programming, whose methods do not yet have strong polynomially bounded runtimes. The second approach uses greedy methods that compute the support of the signal iteratively. These methods are usually much faster than Basis Pursuit, but until recently had not been able to provide the same guarantees. This gap between the two approaches was bridged when we developed and analyzed the greedy algorithm Regularized Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (ROMP). ROMP provides similar guarantees to Basis Pursuit as well as the speed of a greedy algorithm. Our more recent algorithm Compressive Sampling Matching Pursuit (CoSaMP) improves upon these guarantees, and is optimal in every important aspect
Mixed Operators in Compressed Sensing
Applications of compressed sensing motivate the possibility of using
different operators to encode and decode a signal of interest. Since it is
clear that the operators cannot be too different, we can view the discrepancy
between the two matrices as a perturbation. The stability of L1-minimization
and greedy algorithms to recover the signal in the presence of additive noise
is by now well-known. Recently however, work has been done to analyze these
methods with noise in the measurement matrix, which generates a multiplicative
noise term. This new framework of generalized perturbations (i.e., both
additive and multiplicative noise) extends the prior work on stable signal
recovery from incomplete and inaccurate measurements of Candes, Romberg and Tao
using Basis Pursuit (BP), and of Needell and Tropp using Compressive Sampling
Matching Pursuit (CoSaMP). We show, under reasonable assumptions, that the
stability of the reconstructed signal by both BP and CoSaMP is limited by the
noise level in the observation. Our analysis extends easily to arbitrary greedy
methods.Comment: CISS 2010 (44th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and

Analysis and Synthesis Prior Greedy Algorithms for Non-linear Sparse Recovery
In this work we address the problem of recovering sparse solutions to non
linear inverse problems. We look at two variants of the basic problem, the
synthesis prior problem when the solution is sparse and the analysis prior
problem where the solution is cosparse in some linear basis. For the first
problem, we propose non linear variants of the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
(OMP) and CoSamp algorithms; for the second problem we propose a non linear
variant of the Greedy Analysis Pursuit (GAP) algorithm. We empirically test the
success rates of our algorithms on exponential and logarithmic functions. We
model speckle denoising as a non linear sparse recovery problem and apply our
technique to solve it. Results show that our method outperforms state of the
art methods in ultrasound speckle denoising
Greed is good: algorithmic results for sparse approximation
This article presents new results on using a greedy algorithm, orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP), to solve the sparse approximation problem over redundant dictionaries. It provides a sufficient condition under which both OMP and Donoho's basis pursuit (BP) paradigm can recover the optimal representation of an exactly sparse signal. It leverages this theory to show that both OMP and BP succeed for every sparse input signal from a wide class of dictionaries. These quasi-incoherent dictionaries offer a natural generalization of incoherent dictionaries, and the cumulative coherence function is introduced to quantify the level of incoherence. This analysis unifies all the recent results on BP and extends them to OMP. Furthermore, the paper develops a sufficient condition under which OMP can identify atoms from an optimal approximation of a nonsparse signal. From there, it argues that OMP is an approximation algorithm for the sparse problem over a quasi-incoherent dictionary. That is, for every input signal, OMP calculates a sparse approximant whose error is only a small factor worse than the minimal error that can be attained with the same number of terms
