SUMMARY With ideal spatial adaptation, an oracle furnishes information about how best to adapt a spatially variable estimator, whether piecewise constant, polynomial, knot spline, or bandwidth kernel, the unknown function. Estimation with aid of offers dramatic advantages over traditional linear estimation by nonadaptive kernels; however, it is priori unclear such performance can be obtained procedure relying on data alone. We describe new principle for spatially-adaptive estimation:...

Some such as angiograms are already sparse the pixel representation; other, more complicated have a representation some transform domain–for example, terms of spatial finite‐differences or their wavelet coefficients. According recently developed mathematical theory compressed‐sensing, with can be recovered from randomly undersampled ‐space data, provided an appropriate nonlinear recovery...

Given a dictionary D = { d k } of vectors , we seek to represent signal S as linear combination ∑ γ( ) with scalar coefficients γ ( ). In particular, aim for the sparsest representation possible. general, this requires combinatorial optimization process. Previous work considered special case where is an overcomplete system consisting exactly two orthobases and has shown that, under condition mutual incoherence bases, assuming that sufficiently sparse representation, unique can be found by...

This paper describes two digital implementations of a new mathematical transform, namely, the second generation curvelet transform in and three dimensions. The first transformation is based on unequally spaced fast Fourier transforms, while wrapping specially selected samples. essentially differ by choice spatial grid used to translate curvelets at each scale angle. Both transformations return table coefficients indexed parameter, an orientation location parameter. And both are sense that...

Compressed sensing aims to undersample certain high-dimensional signals, yet accurately reconstruct them by exploiting signal characteristics. Accurate reconstruction is possible when the object be recovered sufficiently sparse in a known basis. Currently, best sparsity-undersampling tradeoff achieved reconstructing convex optimization -- which expensive important large-scale applications. Fast iterative thresholding algorithms have been intensively studied as alternatives for problems....
Overcomplete representations are attracting interest in signal processing theory, particularly due to their potential generate sparse of signals. However, general, the problem finding must be unstable presence noise. This paper establishes possibility stable recovery under a combination sufficient sparsity and favorable structure overcomplete system. Considering an ideal underlying that has sufficiently representation, it is assumed only noisy version can observed. Assuming further system...
A full-rank matrix ${\bf A}\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times m}$ with $n<m$ generates an underdetermined system of linear equations Ax} = {\bf b}$ having infinitely many solutions. Suppose we seek the sparsest solution, i.e., one fewest nonzero entries. Can it ever be unique? If so, when? As optimization sparsity is combinatorial in nature, are there efficient methods for finding solution? These questions have been answered positively and constructively recent years, exposing a wide variety surprising...
This article reviews the requirements for successful compressed sensing (CS), describes their natural fit to MRI, and gives examples of four interesting applications CS in MRI. The authors emphasize on an intuitive understanding by describing reconstruction as a process interference cancellation. There is also emphasis driving factors applications, including limitations imposed MRI hardware, characteristics different types images, clinical concerns.
Suppose a discrete-time signal S(t), 0/spl les/t<N, is superposition of atoms taken from combined time-frequency dictionary made spike sequences 1/sub {t=/spl tau/}/ and sinusoids exp{2/spl pi/iwt/N}//spl radic/N. Can one recover, knowledge S alone, the precise collection going to make up S? Because every can be represented as spikes or there no unique way writing sum in general. We prove that if representable highly sparse this dictionary, then only such representation S, it obtained by...
We describe a method for recovering the underlying parametrization of scattered data ( m i ) lying on manifold M embedded in high-dimensional Euclidean space. The method, Hessian-based locally linear embedding, derives from conceptual framework local isometry which , viewed as Riemannian submanifold ambient space ℝ n is isometric to an open, connected subset Θ d .

SUMMARY Much recent effort has sought asymptotically minimax methods for recovering infinite dimensional objects—curves, densities, spectral images—from noisy data. A now rich and complex body of work develops nearly or exactly estimators an array interesting problems. Unfortunately, the results have rarely moved into practice, a variety reasons—among them being similarity to known methods, computational intractability lack spatial adaptivity. We discuss method curve estimation based on n...
Abstract This paper introduces new tight frames of curvelets to address the problem finding optimally sparse representations objects with discontinuities along piecewise C 2 edges. Conceptually, curvelet transform is a multiscale pyramid many directions and positions at each length scale, needle‐shaped elements fine scales. These have useful geometric features that set them apart from classical such as wavelets. For instance, obey parabolic scaling relation which says scale − j , element has...

The uncertainty principle can easily be generalized to cases where the “sets of concentration” are not intervals. Such generalizations presented for continuous and discrete-time functions, several measures “concentration” (e.g., $L_2 $ $L_1 measures). explain interesting phenomena in signal recovery problems there is an interplay missing data, sparsity, bandlimiting.
