Depth Superresolution using Motion Adaptive Regularization
Spatial resolution of depth sensors is often significantly lower compared to
that of conventional optical cameras. Recent work has explored the idea of
improving the resolution of depth using higher resolution intensity as a side
information. In this paper, we demonstrate that further incorporating temporal
information in videos can significantly improve the results. In particular, we
propose a novel approach that improves depth resolution, exploiting the
space-time redundancy in the depth and intensity using motion-adaptive low-rank
regularization. Experiments confirm that the proposed approach substantially
improves the quality of the estimated high-resolution depth. Our approach can
be a first component in systems using vision techniques that rely on high
resolution depth information
Learning Model-Based Sparsity via Projected Gradient Descent
Several convex formulation methods have been proposed previously for
statistical estimation with structured sparsity as the prior. These methods
often require a carefully tuned regularization parameter, often a cumbersome or
heuristic exercise. Furthermore, the estimate that these methods produce might
not belong to the desired sparsity model, albeit accurately approximating the
true parameter. Therefore, greedy-type algorithms could often be more desirable
in estimating structured-sparse parameters. So far, these greedy methods have
mostly focused on linear statistical models. In this paper we study the
projected gradient descent with non-convex structured-sparse parameter model as
the constraint set. Should the cost function have a Stable Model-Restricted
Hessian the algorithm produces an approximation for the desired minimizer. As
an example we elaborate on application of the main results to estimation in

Sparse Recovery from Combined Fusion Frame Measurements
Sparse representations have emerged as a powerful tool in signal and
information processing, culminated by the success of new acquisition and
processing techniques such as Compressed Sensing (CS). Fusion frames are very
rich new signal representation methods that use collections of subspaces
instead of vectors to represent signals. This work combines these exciting
fields to introduce a new sparsity model for fusion frames. Signals that are
sparse under the new model can be compressively sampled and uniquely
reconstructed in ways similar to sparse signals using standard CS. The
combination provides a promising new set of mathematical tools and signal
models useful in a variety of applications. With the new model, a sparse signal
has energy in very few of the subspaces of the fusion frame, although it does
not need to be sparse within each of the subspaces it occupies. This sparsity
model is captured using a mixed l1/l2 norm for fusion frames.
A signal sparse in a fusion frame can be sampled using very few random
projections and exactly reconstructed using a convex optimization that
minimizes this mixed l1/l2 norm. The provided sampling conditions generalize
coherence and RIP conditions used in standard CS theory. It is demonstrated
that they are sufficient to guarantee sparse recovery of any signal sparse in
our model. Moreover, a probabilistic analysis is provided using a stochastic
model on the sparse signal that shows that under very mild conditions the
probability of recovery failure decays exponentially with increasing dimension
of the subspaces
