Compressed Sensing (CS)

Compressed Sensing summary here

Introduction

$x\in \mathbb {R} ^{N}$often not really sparse but approximately sparse

$\Phi \in \mathbb {R} ^{M\times N}$for i$M\ll N$s a Random Gaussian or Bernoulli matrix

$y\in \mathbb {R} ^{M}$are the observed y samples

$e\in \mathbb {R} ^{M}$noise vector $\|e\|_{2}\leq \eta$k e k 2 ≤ η

s.t.

How can we reconstruct x from $y=\Phi x+e$

The goal is to reconstruct $x\in \mathbb {R} ^{N}$given $y$ and $\Phi$

Sensing matrix $\Phi$must satisfy RIP i.e. Random Gaussian or Bernoulli matrixies satisfies (cite)

let $[N]=\{1,\dots ,N\}$be an index set $[N]$ enumerates the columns of $\Phi$ and $x$ $\Phi$ is an under determined systems with infinite solutions. Why $l_{2}$ norm does not work

What is compression is synonymous with to the sparsity.

The problem formulation is to recover sparse data $\mathbf {x} \in \mathbb {R} ^{N}$

The support of $\mathbf {x}$ is $supp(\mathbf {x} )=\{i\in [N]:\mathbf {x} _{i}\neq 0\}$ we say $\mathbf {x}$ is $k$ sparse when $|supp(x)|\leq k$

We are interested in the smallest $supp(x)$ , i.e. $min(supp(x))$

Before we get into RIP lets talk about RIC

Restricted Isometry Constant (RIC) is the smallest $\delta _{|s}\ s.t.\ s\subseteq [N]$that satisfies the RIP condition introduced by Candes, Tao

Random Gaussian and Bernoulli satisfies RIP

Let $\Phi \in \mathbb {R} ^{M\times N}$ satisfy RIP, Let $[N]$ be an index set For $s$ is a restriction on $\mathbf {x}$ denoted by $x_{|s}$ $x\in \mathbb {R} ^{N}$ to $s$ k-sparse $\mathbf {x}$ s.t. RIP is satisfied the $s=|\Gamma |$ i.e. $s\subseteq [N]$and $\Phi _{|s}\subseteq \Phi$ where the columns of $\Phi _{|s}$ is indexed by $i\in S$

In search for a unique solution we have the following $l_{0}=|supp(x)|$ optimization problem. $\mathbf {\hat {s}} ={\underset {s}{argmin}}\|\mathbf {s} \|_{0}\quad s.t.\quad \mathbf {y} =\Phi \mathbf {s}$, which is an NP-Hard.

From Results of Candes, Romberg, Tao, and Donoho

If $\Phi$ satisfies RIP and $\mathbf{y}$ is sparse the $l_{0}$ has a unique solution. The equivelent $l_{1}$ convex program to the $l_{0}$. Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle \mathbf{\hat{s}} = \underset{s}{arg \. min} \| \mathbf{s}\|_1 \quad s.t. \quad \mathbf{y} = \Phi \mathbf{s}}

from incomplete and inaccurate samples)

Let x s be the best s-term approximation to x. Let x r = x − x s Let

y = Φx + e = Φx s + Φx r + e = Φx s + ẽ

If Φ satisfies RIP for sparsity s, then the norm of error ẽ is bounded by

Definition Mutual Coherence

LetA ∈ R M × N , themutualcoherenceµ A isde f inedby :

µ A =

|h a i , a j i|

k a i kk a j k

i 6 = j

We want a small µ A because it will be close ot the normal matrix, which

will satisfies RIP

Algorithm IHT

• Initialize $\Phi ,\mathbf {y} ,\mathbf {e} \ {\mbox{with}}\ \mathbf {y} =\mathbf {\Phi } \mathbf {x} |\mathbf {e} and{\mathfrak {M}}$

• output $IHT(\mathbf {y} ,\mathbf {\Phi } ,{\mathfrak {M}})$

• While halting criterion false do
• $x^{(n+1)}\leftarrow \P _{{\mathfrak {M}}\left[x^{(n)+\Phi ^{*}(\mathbf {y} -\mathbf {\Phi x} ^{(n)})}\right]}$
• $n\leftarrow n+1$

end while return: $IHT(\mathbf {y} ,\mathbf {\Phi } ,{\mathfrak {M}})\leftarrow \mathbf {x} ^{(n)}$
