Image Processing via Multilayer Graph Spectra
Abstract
Graph signal processing (GSP) has become an important tool in image processing because of its ability to reveal underlying data structures. Many real-life multimedia datasets, however, exhibit heterogeneous structures across frames. Multilayer graphs (MLG), instead of traditional single-layer graphs, provide better representation of these datasets such as videos and hyperspectral images. To generalize GSP to multilayer graph models and develop multilayer analysis for image processing, this work introduces a tensor-based framework of multilayer graph signal processing (M-GSP) and present useful M-GSP tools for image processing. We then present guidelines for applying M-GSP in image processing and introduce several applications, including RGB image compression, edge detection and hyperspectral image segmentation. Successful experimental results demonstrate the efficacy and promising futures of M-GSP in image processing.
