一句话总结

本文提出了一种基于组稀疏表示(GSR)的框架,从数学上解释了为何加权核范数最小化(WNNM)在低秩矩阵恢复中优于核范数最小化(NNM)。通过设计一种自适应字典,将GSR与秩最小化相联系,作者推导出NNM和WNNM分别对应于组上的ℓ₁和加权ℓ₁最小化,并提出一种自适应权重方案以避免SVD不稳定性,在图像去噪和图像修复任务中取得了当前最优结果。

ABSTRACT

Rank minimization methods have attracted considerable interest in various areas, such as computer vision and machine learning. The most representative work is nuclear norm minimization (NNM), which can recover the matrix rank exactly under some restricted and theoretical guarantee conditions. However, for many real applications, NNM is not able to approximate the matrix rank accurately, since it often tends to over-shrink the rank components. To rectify the weakness of NNM, recent advances have shown that weighted nuclear norm minimization (WNNM) can achieve a better matrix rank approximation than NNM, which heuristically set the weight being inverse to the singular values. However, it still lacks a sound mathematical explanation on why WNNM is more feasible than NNM. In this paper, we propose a scheme to analyze WNNM and NNM from the perspective of the group sparse representation. Specifically, we design an adaptive dictionary to bridge the gap between the group sparse representation and the rank minimization models. Based on this scheme, we provide a mathematical derivation to explain why WNNM is more feasible than NNM. Moreover, due to the heuristical set of the weight, WNNM sometimes pops out error in the operation of SVD, and thus we present an adaptive weight setting scheme to avoid this error. We then employ the proposed scheme on two low-level vision tasks including image denoising and image inpainting. Experimental results demonstrate that WNNM is more feasible than NNM and the proposed scheme outperforms many current state-of-the-art methods.

  • 在图像修复任务中,所提出的GSR-WNNM框架相较于SALSA平均提升PSNR 3.32 dB,相较于BPFA提升1.72 dB,相较于GSR-NNM提升2.20 dB。
  • 在80%像素缺失的Mickey图像上,GSR-WNNM达到33.67 dB的PSNR和0.9651的SSIM,优于IPPO(32.74 dB)和JSM(31.96 dB)。

  • 视觉结果表明,GSR-WNNM能更好地保持锐利边缘和精细纹理,同时消除振铃伪影,而SALSA、NGS和GSR-NNM则存在此类问题。
  • 自适应权重方案成功避免了启发式WNNM实现中常见的SVD相关数值误差。
