This paper proposes a subspace decomposition method based on an over-complete dictionary in sparse representation, called "Sparse Signal Subspace Decomposition" (or 3SD) method. This method makes use of a novel criterion based on the…

Sparse representation of images under certain transform domain has been playing a fundamental role in image restoration tasks. One such representative method is the widely used wavelet tight frame systems. Instead of adopting fixed filters…

In this paper we consider the dictionary learning problem for sparse representation. We first show that this problem is NP-hard by polynomial time reduction of the densest cut problem. Then, using successive convex approximation strategies,…

The classical sparse coding (SC) model represents visual stimuli as a linear combination of a handful of learned basis functions that are Gabor-like when trained on natural image data. However, the Gabor-like filters learned by classical…

The success of the compressed sensing paradigm has shown that a substantial reduction in sampling and storage complexity can be achieved in certain linear and non-adaptive estimation problems. It is therefore an advisable strategy for…

While CNNs naturally lend themselves to densely sampled data, and sophisticated implementations are available, they lack the ability to efficiently process sparse data. In this work we introduce a suite of tools that exploit sparsity in…

In this paper an extension of the sparse decomposition problem is considered and an algorithm for solving it is presented. In this extension, it is known that one of the shifted versions of a signal s (not necessarily the original signal…

Nonlocal self-similarity and group sparsity have been widely utilized in image compressive sensing (CS). However, when the sampling rate is low, the internal prior information of degraded images may be not enough for accurate restoration,…

We propose an image deconvolution algorithm when the data is contaminated by Poisson noise. The image to restore is assumed to be sparsely represented in a dictionary of waveforms such as the wavelet or curvelet transform. Our key…

In this paper we study the sparse coding problem in the context of sparse dictionary learning for image recovery. To this end, we consider and compare several state-of-the-art sparse optimization methods constructed using the shrinkage…

Deep learning techniques have been successfully applied in many areas of computer vision, including low-level image restoration problems. For image super-resolution, several models based on deep neural networks have been recently proposed…

Sparse representations with learned dictionaries have been successful in several image analysis applications. In this paper, we propose and analyze the framework of ensemble sparse models, and demonstrate their utility in image restoration…

The availability of large-scale annotated image datasets and recent advances in supervised deep learning methods enable the end-to-end derivation of representative image features that can impact a variety of image analysis problems. Such…

We investigate the problem of training neural networks from incomplete images without replacing missing values. For this purpose, we first represent an image as a graph, in which missing pixels are entirely ignored. The graph image…

We propose an algorithm for rotational sparse coding along with an efficient implementation using steerability. Sparse coding (also called dictionary learning) is an important technique in image processing, useful in inverse problems,…

Dictionary learning and sparse coding have been widely studied as mechanisms for unsupervised feature learning. Unsupervised learning could bring enormous benefit to the processing of hyperspectral images and to other remote sensing data…

In many real-world problems, we are dealing with collections of high-dimensional data, such as images, videos, text and web documents, DNA microarray data, and more. Often, high-dimensional data lie close to low-dimensional structures…

Signal modeling lies at the core of numerous signal and image processing applications. A recent approach that has drawn considerable attention is sparse representation modeling, in which the signal is assumed to be generated as a…

Hierarchical semantic structures naturally exist in an image dataset, in which several semantically relevant image clusters can be further integrated into a larger cluster with coarser-grained semantics. Capturing such structures with image…
