  • Patent number: 10140249
    Abstract: Various examples of methods and systems are provided for approximate message passing with universal denoising. In one example, a method includes applying an approximate message passing (AMP) conversion framework to a plurality of substantially linear measurements to produce a plurality of scalar measurements; applying a denoiser algorithm to the plurality of scalar measurements to generate a plurality of denoised scalar measurements; and applying a conversion term to the plurality of denoised scalar measurements to convert the plurality of denoised scalar measurements to a plurality of denoised substantially linear measurements.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9607362
    Abstract: Various examples of methods and systems are provided for compressive imaging using approximate message passing with denoising. According to an aspect, a method includes applying an approximate message passing (AMP) conversion framework to a plurality of substantially linear measurements for conversion into a plurality of scalar measurements. A denoiser algorithm can be applied to the plurality of scalar measurements to generate a plurality of denoised scalar measurements. Further, a conversion term can be applied to the plurality of denoised scalar measurements for converting the plurality of denoised scalar measurements to a plurality of denoised substantially linear measurements. The plurality of substantially linear measurements can represent two-dimensional or three-dimensional signals.

  • Publication number: 20070027656
    Abstract: A method for approximating a plurality of digital signals or images using compressed sensing. In a scheme where a common component xc of said plurality of digital signals or images an innovative component xi of each of said plurality of digital signals each are represented as a vector with m entries, the method comprises the steps of making a measurement yc, where yc comprises a vector with only ni entries, where ni is less than m, making a measurement yi for each of said correlated digital signals, where yi comprises a vector with only ni entries, where ni is less than m, and from each said innovation components yi, producing an approximate reconstruction of each m-vector xi using said common component yc and said innovative component yi.

  • Publication number: 20060239336
    Abstract: A new digital image/video camera that directly acquires random projections of the incident light field without first collecting the pixels/voxels. In one preferred embodiment, the camera employs a digital micromirror array to perform optical calculations of linear projections of an image onto pseudorandom binary patterns. Its hallmarks include the ability to obtain an image with only a single detection element while measuring the image/video fewer times than the number of pixels or voxels—this can significantly reduce the computation required for image/video acquisition/encoding. Since the system features a single photon detector, it can also be adapted to image at wavelengths that are currently impossible with conventional CCD and CMOS imagers.
