Dependent Nonparametric Bayesian Group Dictionary Learning for online reconstruction of Dynamic MR images
In this paper, we introduce a dictionary learning based approach applied to
the problem of real-time reconstruction of MR image sequences that are highly
undersampled in k-space. Unlike traditional dictionary learning, our method
integrates both global and patch-wise (local) sparsity information and
incorporates some priori information into the reconstruction process. Moreover,
we use a Dependent Hierarchical Beta-process as the prior for the group-based
dictionary learning, which adaptively infers the dictionary size and the
sparsity of each patch; and also ensures that similar patches are manifested in
terms of similar dictionary atoms. An efficient numerical algorithm based on
the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is also presented.
Through extensive experimental results we show that our proposed method
achieves superior reconstruction quality, compared to the other state-of-the-
art DL-based methods
Robust Algorithms for Low-Rank and Sparse Matrix Models
Data in statistical signal processing problems is often inherently matrix-valued, and a natural first step in working with such data is to impose a model with structure that captures the distinctive features of the underlying data. Under the right model, one can design algorithms that can reliably tease weak signals out of highly corrupted data. In this thesis, we study two important classes of matrix structure: low-rankness and sparsity. In particular, we focus on robust principal component analysis (PCA) models that decompose data into the sum of low-rank and sparse (in an appropriate sense) components. Robust PCA models are popular because they are useful models for data in practice and because efficient algorithms exist for solving them.
This thesis focuses on developing new robust PCA algorithms that advance the state-of-the-art in several key respects. First, we develop a theoretical understanding of the effect of outliers on PCA and the extent to which one can reliably reject outliers from corrupted data using thresholding schemes. We apply these insights and other recent results from low-rank matrix estimation to design robust PCA algorithms with improved low-rank models that are well-suited for processing highly corrupted data. On the sparse modeling front, we use sparse signal models like spatial continuity and dictionary learning to develop new methods with important adaptive representational capabilities. We also propose efficient algorithms for implementing our methods, including an extension of our dictionary learning algorithms to the online or sequential data setting. The underlying theme of our work is to combine ideas from low-rank and sparse modeling in novel ways to design robust algorithms that produce accurate reconstructions from highly undersampled or corrupted data. We consider a variety of application domains for our methods, including foreground-background separation, photometric stereo, and inverse problems such as video inpainting and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging.PHDElectrical Engineering: SystemsUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
