In this paper, SAR image reconstruction with joint phase error estimation (autofocusing) is formulated as an inverse problem. An optimization model utilising a sparsity-enforcing Cauchy regularizer is proposed, and an alternating minimization framework is used to solve it, in which the desired image and the phase errors are optimized alternatively. For the image reconstruction sub-problem (f-sub-problem), two methods are presented capable of handling the problems complex nature, and we thus present two variants of our SAR image autofocusing algorithm. Firstly, we design a complex version of the forward-backward splitting algorithm (CFBA) to solve the f-sub-problem iteratively. For the second variant, the Wirtinger alternating minimization autofocusing (WAMA) method is presented, in which techniques of Wirtinger calculus are utilized to minimize the complex-valued cost function in the f-sub-problem in a direct fashion. For both methods, the phase error estimation sub-problem is solved by simply expanding and observing its cost function. Moreover, the convergence of both algorithms is discussed in detail. By conducting experiments on both simulated scenes and real SAR images, the proposed method is demonstrated to give impressive autofocusing results compared to other state of the art methods.

Classical model-based imaging methods for ultrasound elasticity inverse problem require prior constraints about the underlying elasticity patterns, while finding the appropriate hand-crafted prior for each tissue type is a challenge. In contrast, sta
ndard data-driven methods count solely on supervised learning on the training data pairs leading to massive network parameters for unnecessary physical model relearning which might not be consistent with the governing physical models of the imaging system. Fusing the physical forward model and noise statistics with data-adaptive priors leads to a united reconstruction framework that guarantees the learned reconstruction agrees with the physical models while coping with the limited training data. In this paper, we propose a new methodology for estimating the elasticity image by solving a regularized optimization problem which benefits from the physics-based modeling via a data-fidelity term and adversarially learned priors via a regularization term. In this method, the regularizer is trained based on the Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (WGAN) objective function which tries to distinguish the distribution of clean and noisy images. Leveraging such an adversarial regularizer for parameterizing the distribution of latent images and using gradient descent (GD) for solving the corresponding regularized optimization task leads to stability and convergence of the reconstruction compared to pixel-wise supervised learning schemes. Our simulation results verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methodology with limited training datasets.
Patch-based sparse representation modeling has shown great potential in image compressive sensing (CS) reconstruction. However, this model usually suffers from some limits, such as dictionary learning with great computational complexity, neglecting t
he relationship among similar patches. In this paper, a group-based sparse representation method with non-convex regularization (GSR-NCR) for image CS reconstruction is proposed. In GSR-NCR, the local sparsity and nonlocal self-similarity of images is simultaneously considered in a unified framework. Different from the previous methods based on sparsity-promoting convex regularization, we extend the non-convex weighted Lp (0 < p < 1) penalty function on group sparse coefficients of the data matrix, rather than conventional L1-based regularization. To reduce the computational complexity, instead of learning the dictionary with a high computational complexity from natural images, we learn the principle component analysis (PCA) based dictionary for each group. Moreover, to make the proposed scheme tractable and robust, we have developed an efficient iterative shrinkage/thresholding algorithm to solve the non-convex optimization problem. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms many state-of-the-art techniques for image CS reconstruction.
In this work we propose to fit a sparse logistic regression model by a weakly convex regularized nonconvex optimization problem. The idea is based on the finding that a weakly convex function as an approximation of the $ell_0$ pseudo norm is able to
better induce sparsity than the commonly used $ell_1$ norm. For a class of weakly convex sparsity inducing functions, we prove the nonconvexity of the corresponding sparse logistic regression problem, and study its local optimality conditions and the choice of the regularization parameter to exclude trivial solutions. Despite the nonconvexity, a method based on proximal gradient descent is used to solve the general weakly convex sparse logistic regression, and its convergence behavior is studied theoretically. Then the general framework is applied to a specific weakly convex function, and a necessary and sufficient local optimality condition is provided. The solution method is instantiated in this case as an iterative firm-shrinkage algorithm, and its effectiveness is demonstrated in numerical experiments by both randomly generated and real datasets.
Iterative self-consistent parallel imaging reconstruction (SPIRiT) is an effective self-calibrated reconstruction model for parallel magnetic resonance imaging (PMRI). The joint L1 norm of wavelet coefficients and joint total variation (TV) regulariz
ation terms are incorporated into the SPIRiT model to improve the reconstruction performance. The simultaneous two-directional low-rankness (STDLR) in k-space data is incorporated into SPIRiT to realize improved reconstruction. Recent methods have exploited the nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) of images by imposing nonlocal low-rankness of similar patches to achieve a superior performance. To fully utilize both the NSS in Magnetic resonance (MR) images and calibration consistency in the k-space domain, we propose a nonlocal low-rank (NLR)-SPIRiT model by incorporating NLR regularization into the SPIRiT model. We apply the weighted nuclear norm (WNN) as a surrogate of the rank and employ the Nash equilibrium (NE) formulation and alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to efficiently solve the NLR-SPIRiT model. The experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of NLR-SPIRiT over the state-of-the-art methods via three objective metrics and visual comparison.
The combination of the sparse sampling and the low-rank structured matrix reconstruction has shown promising performance, enabling a significant reduction of the magnetic resonance imaging data acquisition time. However, the low-rank structured appro
aches demand considerable memory consumption and are time-consuming due to a noticeable number of matrix operations performed on the huge-size block Hankel-like matrix. In this work, we proposed a novel framework to utilize the low-rank property but meanwhile to achieve faster reconstructions and promising results. The framework allows us to enforce the low-rankness of Hankel matrices constructing from 1D vectors instead of 2D matrices from 1D vectors and thus avoid the construction of huge block Hankel matrix for 2D k-space matrices. Moreover, under this framework, we can easily incorporate other information, such as the smooth phase of the image and the low-rankness in the parameter dimension, to further improve the image quality. We built and validated two models for parallel and parameter magnetic resonance imaging experiments, respectively. Our retrospective in-vivo results indicate that the proposed approaches enable faster reconstructions than the state-of-the-art approaches, e.g., about 8x faster than STDLRSPIRiT, and faithful removal of undersampling artifacts.
