Compressed Sensing of Multi-Channel EEG Signals: The Simultaneous Cosparsity and Low Rank Optimization

Goal: This paper deals with the problems that some EEG signals have no good sparse representation and single channel processing is not computationally efficient in compressed sensing of multi-channel EEG signals. Methods: An optimization model with L0 norm and Schatten-0 norm is proposed to enforce cosparsity and low rank structures in the reconstructed multi-channel EEG signals. Both convex relaxation and global consensus optimization with alternating direction method of multipliers are used to compute the optimization model. Results: The performance of multi-channel EEG signal reconstruction is improved in term of both accuracy and computational complexity. Conclusion: The proposed method is a better candidate than previous sparse signal recovery methods for compressed sensing of EEG signals. Significance: The proposed method enables successful compressed sensing of EEG signals even when the signals have no good sparse representation. Using compressed sensing would much reduce the power consumption of wireless EEG system.

Robust Cosparse Greedy Signal Reconstruction for Compressive Sensing with Multiplicative and Additive Noise

Greedy algorithms are popular in compressive sensing for their high computational efficiency. But the performance of current greedy algorithms can be degenerated seriously by noise (both multiplicative noise and additive noise). A robust version of greedy cosparse greedy algorithm (greedy analysis pursuit) is presented in this paper. Comparing with previous methods, The proposed robust greedy analysis pursuit algorithm is based on an optimization model which allows both multiplicative noise and additive noise in the data fitting constraint. Besides, a new stopping criterion that is derived. The new algorithm is applied to compressive sensing of ECG signals. Numerical experiments based on real-life ECG signals demonstrate the performance improvement of the proposed greedy algorithms.

Simultaneous Greedy Analysis Pursuit for Compressive Sensing of Multi-Channel ECG Signals

This paper addresses compressive sensing for multi-channel ECG. Compared to the traditional sparse signal recovery approach which decomposes the signal into the product of a dictionary and a sparse vector, the recently developed cosparse approach exploits sparsity of the product of an analysis matrix and the original signal. We apply the cosparse Greedy Analysis Pursuit (GAP) algorithm for compressive sensing of ECG signals. Moreover, to reduce processing time, classical signal-channel GAP is generalized to the multi-channel GAP algorithm, which simultaneously reconstructs multiple signals with similar support. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method outperforms the classical sparse multi-channel greedy algorithms in terms of accuracy and the single-channel cosparse approach in terms of processing speed.
