Learning Nonlocal Sparse and Low-Rank Models for Image Compressive Sensing

원문 초록

The compressive sensing (CS) scheme exploits much fewer measurements than suggested by the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem to accurately reconstruct images, which has attracted considerable attention in the computational imaging community. While classic image CS schemes employed sparsity using analytical transforms or bases, the learning-based approaches have become increasingly popular in recent years. Such methods can effectively model the structures of image patches by optimizing their sparse representations or learning deep neural networks, while preserving the known or modeled sensing process. Beyond exploiting local image properties, advanced CS schemes adopt nonlocal image modeling, by extracting similar or highly correlated patches at different locations of an image to form a group to process jointly. More recent learning-based CS schemes apply nonlocal structured sparsity prior using group sparse representation (GSR) and/or low-rank (LR) modeling, which have demonstrated promising performance in various computational imaging and image processing applications. This article reviews some recent works in image CS tasks with a focus on the advanced GSR and LR based methods. Furthermore, we present a unified framework for incorporating various GSR and LR models and discuss the relationship between GSR and LR models. Finally, we discuss the open problems and future directions in the field.
