Non-smooth regularization is widely used in image reconstruction to eliminate the noise while preserving subtle image structures. In this work, we investigate the use of proximal Newton (PN) method to solve an optimization problem with a smooth data-fidelity term and total variation (TV) regularization arising from image reconstruction applications. Specifically, we consider a nonlinear Poisson-modeled single-energy X-ray computed tomography reconstruction problem with the data-fidelity term given by the I-divergence. The PN algorithm is compared to state-of-the-art first-order proximal algorithms, such as the well-established fast iterative shrinkage and thresholding algorithm (FISTA), both in terms of the number of iterations and time to solutions. We discuss the key factors that influence the performance of PN, including the strength of regularization, the stopping criterion for both sub-problem and main-problem, and the use of exact or approximated Hessian operators.

In this paper, an inexact proximal-point penalty method is studied for constrained optimization problems, where the objective function is non-convex, and the constraint functions can also be non-convex. The proposed method approximately solves a sequ ence of subproblems, each of which is formed by adding to the original objective function a proximal term and quadratic penalty terms associated to the constraint functions. Under a weak-convexity assumption, each subproblem is made strongly convex and can be solved effectively to a required accuracy by an optimal gradient-based method. The computational complexity of the proposed method is analyzed separately for the cases of convex constraint and non-convex constraint. For both cases, the complexity results are established in terms of the number of proximal gradient steps needed to find an $varepsilon$-stationary point. When the constraint functions are convex, we show a complexity result of $tilde O(varepsilon^{-5/2})$ to produce an $varepsilon$-stationary point under the Slaters condition. When the constraint functions are non-convex, the complexity becomes $tilde O(varepsilon^{-3})$ if a non-singularity condition holds on constraints and otherwise $tilde O(varepsilon^{-4})$ if a feasible initial solution is available.
We present a framework for the simulation of rigid and deformable bodies in the presence of contact and friction. Our method is based on a non-smooth Newton iteration that solves the underlying nonlinear complementarity problems (NCPs) directly. This approach allows us to support nonlinear dynamics models, including hyperelastic deformable bodies and articulated rigid mechanisms, coupled through a smooth isotropic friction model. The fixed-point nature of our method means it requires only the solution of a symmetric linear system as a building block. We propose a new complementarity preconditioner for NCP functions that improves convergence, and we develop an efficient GPU-based solver based on the conjugate residual (CR) method that is suitable for interactive simulations. We show how to improve robustness using a new geometric stiffness approximation and evaluate our methods performance on a number of robotics simulation scenarios, including dexterous manipulation and training using reinforcement learning.
The aim of this paper is to discuss some advanced aspects of image reconstruction in single-pixel cameras, focusing in particular on detectors in the THz regime. We discuss the reconstruction problem from a computational imaging perspective and provi de a comparison of the effects of several state-of-the art regularization techniques. Moreover, we focus on some advanced aspects arising in practice with THz cameras, which lead to nonlinear reconstruction problems: the calibration of the beam reminiscent of the Retinex problem in imaging and phase recovery problems. Finally we provide an outlook to future challenges in the area.
Like many other advanced imaging methods, x-ray phase contrast imaging and tomography require mathematical inversion of the observed data to obtain real-space information. While an accurate forward model describing the generally nonlinear image forma tion from a given object to the observations is often available, explicit inversion formulas are typically not known. Moreover, the measured data might be insufficient for stable image reconstruction, in which case it has to be complemented by suitable a priori information. In this work, regularized Newton methods are presented as a general framework for the solution of such ill-posed nonlinear imaging problems. For a proof of principle, the approach is applied to x-ray phase contrast imaging in the near-field propagation regime. Simultaneous recovery of the phase- and amplitude from a single near-field diffraction pattern without homogeneity constraints is demonstrated for the first time. The presented methods further permit all-at-once phase contrast tomography, i.e. simultaneous phase retrieval and tomographic inversion. We demonstrate the potential of this approach by three-dimensional imaging of a colloidal crystal at 95 nm isotropic resolution.
The Approximate Message Passing (AMP) algorithm efficiently reconstructs signals which have been sampled with large i.i.d. sub-Gaussian sensing matrices. Central to AMP is its state evolution, which guarantees that the difference between the current estimate and ground truth (the aliasing) at every iteration obeys a Gaussian distribution that can be fully characterized by a scalar. However, when Fourier coefficients of a signal with non-uniform spectral density are sampled, such as in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), the aliasing is intrinsically colored, AMPs scalar state evolution is no longer accurate and the algorithm encounters convergence problems. In response, we propose the Variable Density Approximate Message Passing (VDAMP) algorithm, which uses the wavelet domain to model the colored aliasing. We present empirical evidence that VDAMP obeys a colored state evolution, where the aliasing obeys a Gaussian distribution that can be fully characterized with one scalar per wavelet subband. A benefit of state evolution is that Steins Unbiased Risk Estimate (SURE) can be effectively implemented, yielding an algorithm with subband-dependent thresholding that has no free parameters. We empirically evaluate the effectiveness of VDAMP on three variations of Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding (FISTA) and find that it converges in around 10 times fewer iterations on average than the next-fastest method, and to a comparable mean-squared-error.
