Existing methods for tensor completion (TC) have limited ability characterizing low-rank (LR) structures. To depict the complex hierarchical knowledge with implicit sparsity attributes hidden in a tensor, we propose new multilayer sparsity-based decomposition (MLSTD) (LRTC). The method encodes structured of by multiple-layer representation. Specifically, use CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP) model to decompose into an ensemble sum rank-1 tensors, and number components is easily interpreted as...

Recently, tensor sparsity modeling has achieved great success in the completion (TC) problem. In real applications, of a can be rationally measured by low-rank decomposition. However, existing methods either suffer from limited power estimating accurate rank or have difficulty depicting hierarchical structure underlying such data ensembles. To address these issues, we propose parametric measure model, which encodes for general Laplacian scale mixture (LSM) based on three-layer transform...

A demand for division of focal plane (DoFP) polarization imaging technology grows rapidly as nanofabrication technologies become mature. For real-time imaging, a DoFP polarimeter often trades off its spatial resolution, which may cause instantaneous field view (IFoV) errors. To deal with such problems, interpolation methods are used to fill the missing information. This paper presents an technique using Newton's polynomial demosaicking.
