A self-referencing level-set method for image reconstruction from sparse Fourier samples

Abstract

Translate Article

We address image estimation from sparse Fourier samples. The problem is formulated as joint estimation of the supports of unknown sparse objects in the image, and pixel values on these supports. The domain and the pixel values are alternately estimated using the level-set method and the conjugate gradient method, respectively. Our level-set evolution shows a unique switching behavior, which stabilizes the level-set evolution and removes the re-initialization steps in conventional level set approaches.
