Turbo compressed sensing (Turbo-CS) is an efficient iterative algorithm for sparse signal recovery with partial orthogonal sensing matrices. In this paper, we extend the Turbo-CS algorithm to solve compressed sensing problems involving more general signal structure, including compressive image recovery and low-rank matrix recovery. A main difficulty for such an extension is that the original Turbo-CS algorithm requires prior knowledge of the signal distribution that is usually unavailable in practice. To overcome this difficulty, we propose to redesign the Turbo-CS algorithm by employing a generic denoiser that does not depend on the prior distribution and hence the name denoising-based Turbo-CS (D-Turbo-CS). We then derive the extrinsic information for a generic denoiser by following the Turbo-CS principle. Based on that, we optimize the parametric extrinsic denoisers to minimize the output mean-square error (MSE). Explicit expressions are derived for the extrinsic SURE-LET denoiser used in compressive image denoising and also for the singular value thresholding (SVT) denoiser used in low-rank matrix denoising. We find that the dynamics of D-Turbo-CS can be well described by a scaler recursion called MSE evolution, similar to the case for Turbo-CS. Numerical results demonstrate that D-Turbo-CS considerably outperforms the counterpart algorithms in both reconstruction quality and running time.
Approximate message passing (AMP) is an efficient iterative signal recovery algorithm for compressed sensing (CS). For sensing matrices with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Gaussian entries, the behavior of AMP can be asymptotically described by a scaler recursion called state evolution. Orthogonal AMP (OAMP) is a variant of AMP that imposes a divergence-free constraint on the denoiser. In this paper, we extend OAMP to incorporate generic denoisers, hence the name D-OAMP. Our numerical results show that state evolution predicts the performance of D-OAMP well for generic denoisers when i.i.d. Gaussian or partial orthogonal sensing matrices are involved. We compare the performances of denosing-AMP (D-AMP) and D-OAMP for recovering natural images from CS measurements. Simulation results show that D-OAMP outperforms D-AMP in both convergence speed and recovery accuracy for partial orthogonal sensing matrices.
Modern image and video compression codes employ elaborate structures existing in such signals to encode them into few number of bits. Compressed sensing recovery algorithms on the other hand use such signals structures to recover them from few linear observations. Despite the steady progress in the field of compressed sensing, structures that are often used for signal recovery are still much simpler than those employed by state-of-the-art compression codes. The main goal of this paper is to bridge this gap through answering the following question: Can one employ a given compression code to build an efficient (polynomial time) compressed sensing recovery algorithm? In response to this question, the compression-based gradient descent (C-GD) algorithm is proposed. C-GD, which is a low-complexity iterative algorithm, is able to employ a generic compression code for compressed sensing and therefore elevates the scope of structures used in compressed sensing to those used by compression codes. The convergence performance of C-GD and its required number of measurements in terms of the rate-distortion performance of the compression code are theoretically analyzed. It is also shown that C-GD is robust to additive white Gaussian noise. Finally, the presented simulation results show that combining C-GD with commercial image compression codes such as JPEG2000 yields state-of-the-art performance in imaging applications.
This paper presents an approach for visible light communication-based indoor positioning using compressed sensing. We consider a large number of light emitting diodes (LEDs) simultaneously transmitting their positional information and a user device equipped with a photo-diode. By casting the LED signal separation problem into an equivalent compressed sensing framework, the user device is able to detect the set of nearby LEDs using sparse signal recovery algorithms. From this set, and using proximity method, position estimation is proposed based on the concept that if signal separation is possible, then overlapping light beam regions lead to decrease in positioning error due to increase in the number of reference points. The proposed method is evaluated in a LED-illuminated large-scale indoor open-plan office space scenario. The positioning accuracy is compared against the positioning error lower bound of the proximity method, for various system parameters.
In this paper, we consider the compressed video background subtraction problem that separates the background and foreground of a video from its compressed measurements. The background of a video usually lies in a low dimensional space and the foreground is usually sparse. More importantly, each video frame is a natural image that has textural patterns. By exploiting these properties, we develop a message passing algorithm termed offline denoising-based turbo message passing (DTMP). We show that these structural properties can be efficiently handled by the existing denoising techniques under the turbo message passing framework. We further extend the DTMP algorithm to the online scenario where the video data is collected in an online manner. The extension is based on the similarity/continuity between adjacent video frames. We adopt the optical flow method to refine the estimation of the foreground. We also adopt the sliding window based background estimation to reduce complexity. By exploiting the Gaussianity of messages, we develop the state evolution to characterize the per-iteration performance of offline and online DTMP. Comparing to the existing algorithms, DTMP can work at much lower compression rates, and can subtract the background successfully with a lower mean squared error and better visual quality for both offline and online compressed video background subtraction.
This letter investigates the joint recovery of a frequency-sparse signal ensemble sharing a common frequency-sparse component from the collection of their compressed measurements. Unlike conventional arts in compressed sensing, the frequencies follow an off-the-grid formulation and are continuously valued in $leftlbrack 0,1 rightrbrack$. As an extension of atomic norm, the concatenated atomic norm minimization approach is proposed to handle the exact recovery of signals, which is reformulated as a computationally tractable semidefinite program. The optimality of the proposed approach is characterized using a dual certificate. Numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and its advantage over separate recovery.
