Compressive radio-interferometric sensing with random beamforming as rank-one signal covariance projections

Abstract: Radio-interferometry (RI) observes the sky at unprecedented angular resolutions, enabling the study of several far-away galactic objects such as galaxies and black holes. In RI, an array of antennas probes cosmic signals coming from the observed region of the sky.

Interferometric lensless imaging: rank-one projections of image frequencies with speckle illuminations

Abstract: Lensless illumination single-pixel imaging with a multicore fiber (MCF) is a computational imaging technique that enables potential endoscopic observations of biological samples at cellular scale. In this work, we show that this technique is tantamount to collecting multiple symmetric rank-one projections (SROP) of an interferometric matrix–a matrix encoding the spectral content of the sample image.

The Importance of Phase in Complex Compressive Sensing

Abstract: We consider the question of estimating a real low-complexity signal (such as a sparse vector or a low-rank matrix) from the phase of complex random measurements. We show that in this phase-only compressive sensing (PO-CS) scenario, we can perfectly recover such a signal with high probability and up to global unknown amplitude if the sensing matrix is a complex Gaussian random matrix and the number of measurements is large compared to the complexity level of the signal space.

Compressive Sampling Approach for Image Acquisition with Lensless Endoscope

Abstract: The lensless endoscope is a promising device designed to image tissues in vivo at the cellular scale. The traditional acquisition setup consists in raster scanning during which the focused light beam from the optical fiber illuminates sequentially each pixel of the field of view (FOV).

Blind Deconvolution of PET Images using Anatomical Priors

Abstract: Images from positron emission tomography (PET) provide metabolic information about the human body. They present, however, a spatial resolution that is limited by physical and instrumental factors often modeled by a blurring function.

Compressive Hyperspectral Imaging with Fourier Transform Interferometry

Abstract: This paper studies the fast acquisition of Hyper- Spectral (HS) data using Fourier transform interferometry (FTI). FTI has emerged as a promising alternative to capture, at a very high resolution, the wavelength coordinate as well as the spatial domain of the HS volume.

Image Deconvolution by Local Order Preservation of Pixels Values

Abstract: Positron emission tomography is more and more used in radiation oncology, since it conveys useful functional information about cancerous lesions. Its rather low spatial resolution, however, prevents accurate tumor delineation and heterogeneity assessment.

Low Rank and Group-Average Sparsity Driven Convex Optimization for Direct Exoplanets Imaging

Abstract: Direct exoplanets imaging is a challenging task for two main reasons. First, the host star is several order of magnitude brighter than exoplanets. Second, the great distance between us and the star system makes the exoplanets-star angular dis- tance very small.
