Robust phase retrieval with the swept approximate message passing (prSAMP) algorithm
In phase retrieval, the goal is to recover a complex signal from the
magnitude of its linear measurements. While many well-known algorithms
guarantee deterministic recovery of the unknown signal using i.i.d. random
measurement matrices, they suffer serious convergence issues some
ill-conditioned matrices. As an example, this happens in optical imagers using
binary intensity-only spatial light modulators to shape the input wavefront.
The problem of ill-conditioned measurement matrices has also been a topic of
interest for compressed sensing researchers during the past decade. In this
paper, using recent advances in generic compressed sensing, we propose a new
phase retrieval algorithm that well-adopts for both Gaussian i.i.d. and binary
matrices using both sparse and dense input signals. This algorithm is also
robust to the strong noise levels found in some imaging applications
Rate-Distortion Analysis of Multiview Coding in a DIBR Framework
Depth image based rendering techniques for multiview applications have been
recently introduced for efficient view generation at arbitrary camera
positions. Encoding rate control has thus to consider both texture and depth
data. Due to different structures of depth and texture images and their
different roles on the rendered views, distributing the available bit budget
between them however requires a careful analysis. Information loss due to
texture coding affects the value of pixels in synthesized views while errors in
depth information lead to shift in objects or unexpected patterns at their
boundaries. In this paper, we address the problem of efficient bit allocation
between textures and depth data of multiview video sequences. We adopt a
rate-distortion framework based on a simplified model of depth and texture
images. Our model preserves the main features of depth and texture images.
Unlike most recent solutions, our method permits to avoid rendering at encoding
time for distortion estimation so that the encoding complexity is not
augmented. In addition to this, our model is independent of the underlying
inpainting method that is used at decoder. Experiments confirm our theoretical
results and the efficiency of our rate allocation strategy
Intensity-only optical compressive imaging using a multiply scattering material and a double phase retrieval approach
In this paper, the problem of compressive imaging is addressed using natural
randomization by means of a multiply scattering medium. To utilize the medium
in this way, its corresponding transmission matrix must be estimated. To
calibrate the imager, we use a digital micromirror device (DMD) as a simple,
cheap, and high-resolution binary intensity modulator. We propose a phase
retrieval algorithm which is well adapted to intensity-only measurements on the
camera, and to the input binary intensity patterns, both to estimate the
complex transmission matrix as well as image reconstruction. We demonstrate
promising experimental results for the proposed algorithm using the MNIST
dataset of handwritten digits as example images
