In many areas of imaging science, it is difficult to measure the phase of linear measurements. As such, one often wishes to reconstruct a signal from intensity measurements, that is, perform phase retrieval. In several applications the…

Phase retrieval is in general a non-convex and non-linear task and the corresponding algorithms struggle with the issue of local minima. We consider the case where the measurement samples within typically very small and disconnected subsets…

Phase retrieval consists in the recovery of a complex-valued signal from intensity-only measurements. As it pervades a broad variety of applications, many researchers have striven to develop phase-retrieval algorithms. Classical approaches…

The problem of recovering a one-dimensional signal from its Fourier transform magnitude, called Fourier phase retrieval, is ill-posed in most cases. We consider the closely-related problem of recovering a signal from its phaseless…

We consider the recovery of a (real- or complex-valued) signal from magnitude-only measurements, known as phase retrieval. We formulate phase retrieval as a convex optimization problem, which we call PhaseMax. Unlike other convex methods…

Phase retrieval seeks to recover a signal x from the amplitude |Ax| of linear measurements. We cast the phase retrieval problem as a non-convex quadratic program over a complex phase vector and formulate a tractable relaxation (called…

This paper investigates phase retrieval using the Reshaped Wirtinger Flow (RWF) algorithm, focusing on recovering target vector $\vx \in \R^n$ from magnitude measurements \(y_i = \left| \langle \va_i, \vx \rangle \right|, \; i = 1, \ldots,…

We study an approach to solving the phase retrieval problem as it arises in a phase-less imaging modality known as ptychography. In ptychography, small overlapping sections of an unknown sample (or signal, say $x_0\in \mathbb{C}^d$) are…
