Recovery of Missing Samples Using Sparse Approximation via a Convex Similarity Measure
In this paper, we study the missing sample recovery problem using methods
based on sparse approximation. In this regard, we investigate the algorithms
used for solving the inverse problem associated with the restoration of missed
samples of image signal. This problem is also known as inpainting in the
context of image processing and for this purpose, we suggest an iterative
sparse recovery algorithm based on constrained -norm minimization with a
new fidelity metric. The proposed metric called Convex SIMilarity (CSIM) index,
is a simplified version of the Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) index, which is
convex and error-sensitive. The optimization problem incorporating this
criterion, is then solved via Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers
(ADMM). Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed method for
missing sample recovery of 1D patch vectors and inpainting of 2D image signals
An Introduction To Compressive Sampling [A sensing/sampling paradigm that goes against the common knowledge in data acquisition]
This article surveys the theory of compressive sampling, also known as compressed sensing or CS, a novel sensing/sampling paradigm that goes against the common wisdom in data acquisition. CS theory asserts that one can recover certain signals and images from far fewer samples or measurements than traditional methods use. To make this possible, CS relies on two principles: sparsity, which pertains to the signals of interest, and incoherence, which pertains to the sensing modality.
Our intent in this article is to overview the basic CS theory that emerged in the works [1]–[3], present the key mathematical ideas underlying this theory, and survey a couple of important results in the field. Our goal is to explain CS as plainly as possible, and so our article is mainly of a tutorial nature. One of the charms of this theory is that it draws from various subdisciplines within the applied mathematical sciences, most notably probability theory. In this review, we have decided to highlight this aspect and especially the fact that randomness can — perhaps surprisingly — lead to very effective sensing mechanisms. We will also discuss significant implications, explain why CS is a concrete protocol for sensing and compressing data simultaneously (thus the name), and conclude our tour by reviewing important applications
