Ptychography is a lensless imaging technique, which considers reconstruction from a set of far-field diffraction patterns obtained by illuminating small overlapping regions of the specimen. In many cases, the distribution of light inside the illuminated region is unknown and has to be estimated along with the object of interest. This problem is referred to as blind ptychography. While in ptychography the illumination is commonly assumed to have a point spectrum, in this paper we consider an alternative scenario with a nontrivial light spectrum known as blind polychromatic ptychography. First, we show that nonblind polychromatic ptychography can be seen as a recovery from quadratic measurements. Then, a reconstruction from such measurements can be performed by a variant of the Amplitude Flow algorithm, which has guaranteed sublinear convergence to a critical point. Second, we address recovery from blind polychromatic ptychographic measurements by devising an alternating minimization version of Amplitude Flow and showing that it converges to a critical point at a sublinear rate.

SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 1281-1307, September 2023. Abstract. A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction of the wave’s advance. Examples of transverse waves include ripples on the surface of water and light waves. Polarization is one of the primary properties of transverse waves. Analysis of polarization states can reveal valuable information about the sources. In this paper, we propose a separable low-rank quaternion linear mixing model for polarized signals: we assume each column of the source factor matrix equals a column of the polarized data matrix and refer to the corresponding problem as separable quaternion matrix factorization (SQMF). We discuss some properties of the matrix that can be decomposed by SQMF. To determine the source factor matrix in quaternion space, we propose a heuristic algorithm called quaternion successive projection algorithm (QSPA) inspired by the successive projection algorithm. To guarantee the effectiveness of QSPA, a new normalization operator is proposed for the quaternion matrix. We use a block coordinate descent algorithm to compute nonnegative activation matrix in real number space. We test our method on the applications of polarization image representation and spectro-polarimetric imaging unmixing to verify its effectiveness.

SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 1106-1141, September 2023. Abstract. In this paper, we consider the problem of phase retrieval, which consists of recovering an [math]‐dimensional real vector from the magnitude of its [math] linear measurements. We propose a mirror descent (or Bregman gradient descent) algorithm based on a wisely chosen Bregman divergence, hence allowing us to remove the classical global Lipschitz continuity requirement on the gradient of the nonconvex phase retrieval objective to be minimized. We apply the mirror descent for two random measurements: the i.i.d. standard Gaussian and those obtained by multiple structured illuminations through coded diffraction patterns. For the Gaussian case, we show that when the number of measurements [math] is large enough, then with high probability, for almost all initializers, the algorithm recovers the original vector up to a global sign change. For both measurements, the mirror descent exhibits a local linear convergence behavior with a dimension-independent convergence rate. Finally, our theoretical results are illustrated with various numerical experiments, including an application to the reconstruction of images in precision optics.

Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has recently joined X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy as a high-resolution structural method to resolve biological macromolecules. In a cryo-EM experiment, the microscope produces images called micrographs. Projections of the molecule of interest are embedded in the micrographs at unknown locations, and under unknown viewing directions. Standard imaging techniques first locate these projections (detection) and then reconstruct the 3-D structure from them. Unfortunately, high noise levels hinder detection. When reliable detection is rendered impossible, the standard techniques fail. This is a problem, especially for small molecules. In this paper, we pursue a radically different approach: we contend that the structure could, in principle, be reconstructed directly from the micrographs, without intermediate detection. The aim is to bring small molecules within reach for cryo-EM. To this end, we design an autocorrelation analysis technique that allows one to go directly from the micrographs to the sought structures. This involves only one pass over the micrographs, allowing online, streaming processing for large experiments. We show numerical results and discuss challenges that lay ahead to turn this proof-of-concept into a complementary approach to state-of-the-art algorithms.

In photoacoustic tomography (PAT) with a flat sensor, we routinely encounter two types of limited data. The first is due to using a finite sensor and is especially perceptible if the region of interest is large relative to the sensor or located farther away from the sensor. In this paper, we focus on the second type caused by a varying sensitivity of the sensor to the incoming wavefront direction, which can be modelled as binary, i.e., by a cone of sensitivity. Such visibility conditions result, in the Fourier domain, in a restriction of both the image and the data to a bowtie, akin to the one corresponding to the range of the forward operator. The visible wavefrontsets in image and data domains, are related by the wavefront direction mapping. We adapt the wedge restricted curvelet decomposition, we previously proposed for the representation of the full PAT data, to separate the visible and invisible wavefronts in the image. We optimally combine fast approximate operators with tailored deep neural network architectures into efficient learned reconstruction methods which perform reconstruction of the visible coefficients, and the invisible coefficients are learned from a training set of similar data.

In this work we consider stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for solving linear inverse problems in Banach spaces. SGD and its variants have been established as one of the most successful optimization methods in machine learning, imaging, and signal processing, to name a few. At each iteration SGD uses a single datum, or a small subset of data, resulting in highly scalable methods that are very attractive for large-scale inverse problems. Nonetheless, the theoretical analysis of SGD-based approaches for inverse problems has thus far been largely limited to Euclidean and Hilbert spaces. In this work we present a novel convergence analysis of SGD for linear inverse problems in general Banach spaces: we show the almost sure convergence of the iterates to the minimum norm solution and establish the regularizing property for suitable a priori stopping criteria. Numerical results are also presented to illustrate features of the approach.

The choice of a proper regularization measure plays an important role in the field of image processing. One classical approach treats color images as two- dimensional surfaces embedded in a five-dimensional spatial-chromatic space. In this case, a natural regularization term arises as the image surface area. Choosing the chromatic coordinates as dominating over the spatial ones, we can think of the image spatial coordinates could as a parameterization of the image surface manifold in a three-dimensional color space. Minimizing the area of the image manifold leads to the Beltrami flow or mean curvature flow of the image surface in the three-dimensional color space, while minimizing the elastica of the image surface yields an additional interesting regularization. Recently, we proposed a color elastica model, which minimizes both the surface area and the elastica of the image manifold. In this paper, we propose to modify the color elastica and introduce two new models for color image regularization. The revised measures are motivated by the relations between the color elastica model, Euler’s elastica model, and the total variation model for gray level images. Compared to our previous color elastica model, the new models are direct extensions of Euler’s elastica model to color images. The proposed models are nonlinear and challenging to minimize. To overcome this difficulty, two operator-splitting methods are suggested. Specifically, nonlinearities are decoupled by the introduction of new vector- and matrix-valued variables. Then, the minimization problems are converted to initial value problems which are time-discretized by operator splitting. Each subproblem, after splitting, either has a closed-form solution or can be solved efficiently. The effectiveness and advantages of the proposed models are demonstrated by comprehensive experiments. The benefits of incorporating the elastica of the image surface as regularization terms compared to common alternatives are empirically validated.

This paper introduces a novel nonlocal partial difference equation (G-PDE) for labeling metric data on graphs. The G-PDE is derived as a nonlocal reparametrization of the assignment flow approach that was introduced in [J. Math. Imaging Vision, 58 (2017), pp. 211–238]. Due to this parameterization, solving the G-PDE numerically is shown to be equivalent to computing the Riemannian gradient flow with respect to a nonconvex potential. We devise an entropy-regularized difference of convex (DC) functions decomposition of this potential and show that the basic geometric Euler scheme for integrating the assignment flow is equivalent to solving the G-PDE by an established DC programming scheme. Moreover, the viewpoint of geometric integration reveals a basic way to exploit higher-order information of the vector field that drives the assignment flow, in order to devise a novel accelerated DC programming scheme. A detailed convergence analysis of both numerical schemes is provided and illustrated by numerical experiments.

In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing a galaxy’s stellar population-kinematic distribution function from optical integral field unit measurements. These quantities are connected via a high-dimensional integral equation. To solve this problem, we propose a projected Nesterov–Kaczmarz reconstruction method, which efficiently leverages the problem structure and incorporates physical prior information such as smoothness and nonnegativity constraints. To test the performance of our reconstruction approach, we apply it to a dataset simulated from a known ground truth density, and validate it by comparing our recoveries to those obtained by the widely used pPXF software.
