Sparse Modeling for Image and Vision Processing
In recent years, a large amount of multi-disciplinary research has been
conducted on sparse models and their applications. In statistics and machine
learning, the sparsity principle is used to perform model selection---that is,
automatically selecting a simple model among a large collection of them. In
signal processing, sparse coding consists of representing data with linear
combinations of a few dictionary elements. Subsequently, the corresponding
tools have been widely adopted by several scientific communities such as
neuroscience, bioinformatics, or computer vision. The goal of this monograph is
to offer a self-contained view of sparse modeling for visual recognition and
image processing. More specifically, we focus on applications where the
dictionary is learned and adapted to data, yielding a compact representation
that has been successful in various contexts.Comment: 205 pages, to appear in Foundations and Trends in Computer Graphics

Analysis Dictionary Learning: An Efficient and Discriminative Solution
Discriminative Dictionary Learning (DL) methods have been widely advocated
for image classification problems. To further sharpen their discriminative
capabilities, most state-of-the-art DL methods have additional constraints
included in the learning stages. These various constraints, however, lead to
additional computational complexity. We hence propose an efficient
Discriminative Convolutional Analysis Dictionary Learning (DCADL) method, as a
lower cost Discriminative DL framework, to both characterize the image
structures and refine the interclass structure representations. The proposed
DCADL jointly learns a convolutional analysis dictionary and a universal
classifier, while greatly reducing the time complexity in both training and
testing phases, and achieving a competitive accuracy, thus demonstrating great
performance in many experiments with standard databases.Comment: ICASSP 201
