We present a new method for image reconstruction which replaces the projector in a projected gradient descent (PGD) with a convolutional neural network (CNN). CNNs trained as high-dimensional (image-to-image) regressors have recently been used to efficiently solve inverse problems in imaging. However, these approaches lack a feedback mechanism to enforce that the reconstructed image is consistent with the measurements. This is crucial for inverse problems, and more so in biomedical imaging, where the reconstructions are used for diagnosis. In our scheme, the gradient descent enforces measurement consistency, while the CNN recursively projects the solution closer to the space of desired reconstruction images. We provide a formal framework to ensure that the classical PGD converges to a local minimizer of a non-convex constrained least-squares problem. When the projector is replaced with a CNN, we propose a relaxed PGD, which always converges. Finally, we propose a simple scheme to train a CNN to act like a projector. Our experiments on sparse view Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction for both noiseless and noisy measurements show an improvement over the total-variation (TV) method and a recent CNN-based technique.

We propose a general learning based framework for solving nonsmooth and nonconvex image reconstruction problems. We model the regularization function as the composition of the $l_{2,1}$ norm and a smooth but nonconvex feature mapping parametrized as
a deep convolutional neural network. We develop a provably convergent descent-type algorithm to solve the nonsmooth nonconvex minimization problem by leveraging the Nesterovs smoothing technique and the idea of residual learning, and learn the network parameters such that the outputs of the algorithm match the references in training data. Our method is versatile as one can employ various modern network structures into the regularization, and the resulting network inherits the guaranteed convergence of the algorithm. We also show that the proposed network is parameter-efficient and its performance compares favorably to the state-of-the-art methods in a variety of image reconstruction problems in practice.
The classical problem of phase retrieval arises in various signal acquisition systems. Due to the ill-posed nature of the problem, the solution requires assumptions on the structure of the signal. In the last several years, sparsity and support-based
priors have been leveraged successfully to solve this problem. In this work, we propose replacing the sparsity/support priors with generative priors and propose two algorithms to solve the phase retrieval problem. Our proposed algorithms combine the ideas from AltMin approach for non-convex sparse phase retrieval and projected gradient descent approach for solving linear inverse problems using generative priors. We empirically show that the performance of our method with projected gradient descent is superior to the existing approach for solving phase retrieval under generative priors. We support our method with an analysis of sample complexity with Gaussian measurements.
Ill-posed linear inverse problems appear in many scientific setups, and are typically addressed by solving optimization problems, which are composed of data fidelity and prior terms. Recently, several works have considered a back-projection (BP) base
d fidelity term as an alternative to the common least squares (LS), and demonstrated excellent results for popular inverse problems. These works have also empirically shown that using the BP term, rather than the LS term, requires fewer iterations of optimization algorithms. In this paper, we examine the convergence rate of the projected gradient descent (PGD) algorithm for the BP objective. Our analysis allows to identify an inherent source for its faster convergence compared to using the LS objective, while making only mild assumptions. We also analyze the more general proximal gradient method under a relaxed contraction condition on the proximal mapping of the prior. This analysis further highlights the advantage of BP when the linear measurement operator is badly conditioned. Numerical experiments with both $ell_1$-norm and GAN-based priors corroborate our theoretical results.
Stochastic gradient descent (SGD), which dates back to the 1950s, is one of the most popular and effective approaches for performing stochastic optimization. Research on SGD resurged recently in machine learning for optimizing convex loss functions a
nd training nonconvex deep neural networks. The theory assumes that one can easily compute an unbiased gradient estimator, which is usually the case due to the sample average nature of empirical risk minimization. There exist, however, many scenarios (e.g., graphs) where an unbiased estimator may be as expensive to compute as the full gradient because training examples are interconnected. Recently, Chen et al. (2018) proposed using a consistent gradient estimator as an economic alternative. Encouraged by empirical success, we show, in a general setting, that consistent estimators result in the same convergence behavior as do unbiased ones. Our analysis covers strongly convex, convex, and nonconvex objectives. We verify the results with illustrative experiments on synthetic and real-world data. This work opens several new research directions, including the development of more efficient SGD updates with consistent estimators and the design of efficient training algorithms for large-scale graphs.
Deep neural networks have exhibited promising performance in image super-resolution (SR) due to the power in learning the non-linear mapping from low-resolution (LR) images to high-resolution (HR) images. However, most deep learning methods employ fe
ed-forward architectures, and thus the dependencies between LR and HR images are not fully exploited, leading to limited learning performance. Moreover, most deep learning based SR methods apply the pixel-wise reconstruction error as the loss, which, however, may fail to capture high-frequency information and produce perceptually unsatisfying results, whilst the recent perceptual loss relies on some pre-trained deep model and they may not generalize well. In this paper, we introduce a mask to separate the image into low- and high-frequency parts based on image gradient magnitude, and then devise a gradient sensitive loss to well capture the structures in the image without sacrificing the recovery of low-frequency content. Moreover, by investigating the duality in SR, we develop a dual reconstruction network (DRN) to improve the SR performance. We provide theoretical analysis on the generalization performance of our method and demonstrate its effectiveness and superiority with thorough experiments.
