Distributed Representation of Geometrically Correlated Images with Compressed Linear Measurements
This paper addresses the problem of distributed coding of images whose
correlation is driven by the motion of objects or positioning of the vision
sensors. It concentrates on the problem where images are encoded with
compressed linear measurements. We propose a geometry-based correlation model
in order to describe the common information in pairs of images. We assume that
the constitutive components of natural images can be captured by visual
features that undergo local transformations (e.g., translation) in different
images. We first identify prominent visual features by computing a sparse
approximation of a reference image with a dictionary of geometric basis
functions. We then pose a regularized optimization problem to estimate the
corresponding features in correlated images given by quantized linear
measurements. The estimated features have to comply with the compressed
information and to represent consistent transformation between images. The
correlation model is given by the relative geometric transformations between
corresponding features. We then propose an efficient joint decoding algorithm
that estimates the compressed images such that they stay consistent with both
the quantized measurements and the correlation model. Experimental results show
that the proposed algorithm effectively estimates the correlation between
images in multi-view datasets. In addition, the proposed algorithm provides
effective decoding performance that compares advantageously to independent
coding solutions as well as state-of-the-art distributed coding schemes based
on disparity learning
Dynamic Iterative Pursuit
For compressive sensing of dynamic sparse signals, we develop an iterative
pursuit algorithm. A dynamic sparse signal process is characterized by varying
sparsity patterns over time/space. For such signals, the developed algorithm is
able to incorporate sequential predictions, thereby providing better
compressive sensing recovery performance, but not at the cost of high
complexity. Through experimental evaluations, we observe that the new algorithm
exhibits a graceful degradation at deteriorating signal conditions while
capable of yielding substantial performance gains as conditions improve.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures. Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on

Semi-Supervised Sparse Coding
Sparse coding approximates the data sample as a sparse linear combination of
some basic codewords and uses the sparse codes as new presentations. In this
paper, we investigate learning discriminative sparse codes by sparse coding in
a semi-supervised manner, where only a few training samples are labeled. By
using the manifold structure spanned by the data set of both labeled and
unlabeled samples and the constraints provided by the labels of the labeled
samples, we learn the variable class labels for all the samples. Furthermore,
to improve the discriminative ability of the learned sparse codes, we assume
that the class labels could be predicted from the sparse codes directly using a
linear classifier. By solving the codebook, sparse codes, class labels and
classifier parameters simultaneously in a unified objective function, we
develop a semi-supervised sparse coding algorithm. Experiments on two
real-world pattern recognition problems demonstrate the advantage of the
proposed methods over supervised sparse coding methods on partially labeled
data sets
