Selective image segmentation is an important topic in medical imaging and real applications. In this paper, we propose a weighted variational selective image segmentation model which contains two steps. The first stage is to obtain a smooth approximation related to Mumford-Shah model to the target region in the input image. Using weighted function, the approximation provides a larger value for the target region and smaller values for other regions. In the second stage, we make use of this approximation and perform a thresholding procedure to obtain the object of interest. The approximation can be obtained by the alternating direction method of multipliers and the convergence analysis of the method can be established. Experimental results for medical image selective segmentation are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method. We also do some comparisons and show that the performance of the proposed method is more competitive than other testing methods. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Xue-lei Lin, Xin Huang, Michael K. Ng, Hai-Wei Sun

Summary: In this paper, a tau-preconditioner for non-symmetric linear systems arising from a multi-dimensional Riemann-Liouville fractional diffusion equation is studied. The proposed iterative solver achieves a convergence rate independent of discretization stepsizes and utilizes fast matrix-vector multiplication through the fast sine transform.

Hierarchical Perception Adversarial Learning Framework for Compressed Sensing MRI

Zhifan Gao, Yifeng Guo, Jiajing Zhang, Tieyong Zeng, Guang Yang

Summary: The long acquisition time of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a limitation in terms of patient comfort and motion artifacts. Compressed sensing in MRI (CS-MRI) has enabled fast acquisition without compromising SNR and resolution, but current CS-MRI methods struggle with aliasing artifacts, leading to unsatisfactory reconstruction performance. In order to address this challenge, a hierarchical perception adversarial learning framework (HP-ALF) is proposed. HP-ALF utilizes a hierarchical mechanism to perceive image information and effectively removes aliasing artifacts while recovering fine details.

A New Matrix Maximization Model for Computing Ratios of Generalized Singular Values from High-Order GSVD

Wei-Wei Xu, Michael K. Ng

Summary: A High-Order Generalized Singular Value Decomposition (HO-GSVD) is used to compare multiple matrices {Ai} (N) (i=1) with different row dimensions by examining their generalized singular values {sigma i, k} Ni=1. The significance of the k-th basis vector on the right hand side of the matrix from HO-GSVD for multiple matrices {A(i)} (N) (i=1) can be determined by the ratio values of sigma(i, k)/sigma(j, k). This paper proposes and studies a new matrix maximization model for computing these ratio values from A(1), ..., A(N), which can be solved using the Newton method on Lie Groups with well-defined initial values. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the fast performance of the proposed method in solving the optimization model compared to existing algorithms and the Riemannian Newton method.

SIGNAL RECONSTRUCTION FROM PHASE-ONLY MEASUREMENTS: UNIQUENESS CONDITION, MINIMAL MEASUREMENT NUMBER AND BEYOND

Junren Chen, Michael K. Ng

Summary: This paper investigates the phase-only reconstruction problem, focusing on recovering a complex-valued signal x in Cd from the phase of Ax. Uniqueness conditions are derived using discriminant matrices, determining if the signal can be uniquely reconstructed. The minimum measurement number is also examined, with at least 2d but no more than 4d-2 measurements needed for reconstruction of all x∈Cd. Practical and general uniqueness conditions are provided for the phase-only reconstruction in Rd, and the results can be extended to affine phase-only reconstruction where the phase of Ax + b is observed for some b∈Cm.

FULLY-CONNECTED TENSOR NETWORK DECOMPOSITION FOR ROBUST TENSOR COMPLETION PROBLEM

Yun-Yang Liu, Xi-Le Zhao, Guang-Jing Song, Yu-Bang Zheng, Michael K. Ng, Ting-Zhu Huang

Summary: Motivated by the success of fully-connected tensor network (FCTN) decomposition, this study proposes two FCTN-based models for the robust tensor completion (RTC) problem. The first model, named RNC-FCTN, directly applies FCTN decomposition for the RTC problem. An algorithm based on proximal alternating minimization (PAM) is developed to solve RNC-FCTN. The second model, named RC-FCTN, uses the FCTN nuclear norm as a convex surrogate function and applies robust convex optimization for RTC. An algorithm based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is developed for RC-FCTN.

Analysis of the ratio of l1 and l2 norms for signal recovery with partial support information

Huanmin Ge, Wengu Chen, Michael K. Ng

Summary: In this paper, we propose a novel model, the weighted l(1)/l(2) minimization, which incorporates partial support information into the standard l(1)/l(2) minimization to recover sparse signals from linear measurements. We establish the restricted isometry property based conditions for sparse signal recovery using the weighted l(1)/l(2) minimization in both noiseless and noisy cases. Our results show that these conditions are weaker than the analogous conditions for standard l(1)/l(2) minimization when the accuracy of the partial support information is at least 50%. Additionally, we develop effective algorithms and validate our results through extensive numerical experiments using synthetic data in both noiseless and noisy cases.

A linear transportation LP distance for pattern recognition

Oliver M. Crook, Mihai Cucuringu, Tim Hurst, Carola-Bibiane Schonlieb, Matthew Thorpe, Konstantinos C. Zygalakis

Summary: The transportation LP distance (TLP) is a generalization of the Wasserstein WP distance that can be applied directly to color or multi-channelled images, as well as multivariate time-series. TLP interprets signals as functions, while WP interprets signals as measures. Although both distances are powerful tools in modeling data with spatial or temporal perturbations, their computational cost can be prohibitively high for moderate pattern recognition tasks. The linear Wasserstein distance offers a method for projecting signals into a Euclidean space, and in this study, we propose linear versions of the TLP distance (LTLP) that show significant improvement over the linear WP distance in signal processing tasks while being several orders of magnitude faster to compute than the TLP distance.

KGSR: A kernel guided network for real-world blind super-resolution

Qingsen Yan, Axi Niu, Chaoqun Wang, Wei Dong, Marcin Wozniak, Yanning Zhang

Summary: Deep learning-based methods have achieved remarkable results in the field of super-resolution. However, the limitation of paired training image sets has led researchers to explore self-supervised learning. However, the assumption of inaccurate downscaling kernel functions often leads to degraded results. To address this issue, this paper introduces KGSR, a kernel-guided network that trains both upscaling and downscaling networks to generate high-quality high-resolution images even without knowing the actual downscaling process.

Gait feature learning via spatio-temporal two-branch networks

Yifan Chen, Xuelong Li

Summary: Gait recognition is a popular technology for identification due to its ability to capture gait features over long distances without cooperation. However, current methods face challenges as they use a single network to extract both temporal and spatial features. To solve this problem, we propose a two-branch network that focuses on spatial and temporal feature extraction separately. By combining these features, we can effectively learn the spatio-temporal information of gait sequences.
