Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are of great current interest in the proliferation of technologies. Since the location of the sensors is one of the most interesting issues in WSN, the process of node localization is crucial for any WSN-based applications. Subsequently, WSN’s node estimation deals with a low-rank matrix which gives rise to the application of the Nuclear Norm Minimization (NNM) method. This paper will focus on the localization of 2-dimensional WSN with objects (obstacles). Recent studies introduce Nuclear Norm Minimization (NNM) for node estimation instead of formulating the rank minimization problem. Common way to tackle this problem is by implementing the Semidefinite Programming (SDP). However, SDP can only handle matrices with a size of less than 100 × 100. Therefore, we introduce the method of Singular Value Thresholding (SVT) which is an iterative algorithm to solve the NNM problem that produces a sequence of matrices { X k , Y k } and executes a soft-thresholding operation on the singular value of the matrix Y k . This algorithm is a user-friendly algorithm which produces a low computational cost with low storage capacity required to give the lowest-rank minimum nuclear norm solution.

AbstractWe study extensions of compressive sensing and low rank matrix recovery to the recovery of tensors of low rank from incomplete linear information. While the reconstruction of low rank matrices via nuclear norm minimization is rather well-understand by now, almost no theory is available so far for the extension to higher order tensors due to various theoretical and computational difficulties arising for tensor decompositions. In fact, nuclear norm minimization for matrix recovery is a tractable convex relaxation approach, but the extension of the nuclear norm to tensors is in general NP-hard to compute. In this article, we introduce convex relaxations of the tensor nuclear norm which are computable in polynomial time via semidefinite programming. Our approach is based on theta bodies, a concept from real computational algebraic geometry which is similar to the one of the better known Lasserre relaxations. We introduce polynomial ideals which are generated by the second-order minors corresponding to different matricizations of the tensor (where the tensor entries are treated as variables) such that the nuclear norm ball is the convex hull of the algebraic variety of the ideal. The theta body of order k for such an ideal generates a new norm which we call the θk-norm. We show that in the matrix case, these norms reduce to the standard nuclear norm. For tensors of order three or higher however, we indeed obtain new norms. The sequence of the corresponding unit-θk-norm balls converges asymptotically to the unit tensor nuclear norm ball. By providing the Gröbner basis for the ideals, we explicitly give semidefinite programs for the computation of the θk-norm and for the minimization of the θk-norm under an affine constraint. Finally, numerical experiments for order-three tensor recovery via θ1-norm minimization suggest that our approach successfully reconstructs tensors of low rank from incomplete linear (random) measurements.

The singular value thresholding (SVT) algorithm plays an important role in the well-known matrix reconstruction problem, and it has many applications in computer vision and recommendation systems. In this paper, an SVT with diagonal-update (D-SVT) algorithm was put forward, which allows the algorithm to make use of simple arithmetic operation and keep the computational cost of each iteration low. The low-rank matrix would be reconstructed well. The convergence of the new algorithm was discussed in detail. Finally, the numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the new algorithm for low-rank matrix completion.

Because there are many similar geological structures underground, seismic profiles have an abundance of self-repeating patterns. Thus, we can divide a seismic profile into groups of blocks with similar seismic structure. The matrix formed by stacking together similar blocks in each group should be of low rank. Hence, we can transfer the seismic denoising problem to a serial of low-rank matrix approximation (LRMA) problem. The LRMA-based model commonly adopts the nuclear norm as a convex substitute of the rank of a matrix. However, the nuclear norm minimization (NNM) shrinks the different rank components equally and may cause some biases in practice. Recently introduced truncated nuclear norm (TNN) has been proven to more accurately approximate the rank of a matrix, which is given by the sum of the set of smallest singular values. Based on this, we propose a novel denoising method using truncated nuclear norm minimization (TNNM). The objective function of this method consists of two terms, the F-norm data fidelity and a truncated nuclear norm regularization. We present an efficient two-step iterative algorithm to solve this objective function. Then, we apply the proposed TNNM algorithm to groups of blocks with similar seismic structure, and aggregate all resulting denoised blocks to get the denoised seismic data. We update the denoised results during each iteration to gradually attenuate the heavy noise. Numerical experiments demonstrate that, compared with FX-Decon, the curvelet, and the NNM-based methods, TNNM not only attenuates noise more effectively even when the SNR is as low as -10 dB and seismic data have complex structures, but also accurately preserves the seismic structures without inducing Gibbs artifacts.

Designing an efficient filtering technique is an ill-posed problem especially for image affected from high density of noise. The majority of existing techniques suffer from edge degradation and texture distortion issues. Therefore, in this paper, an efficient weighted nuclear norm minimization (NNM)-based filtering technique to preserve the edges and texture information of filtered images is proposed. The proposed technique significantly improves the quantitative improvements on the low rank approximation of nonlocal self-similarity matrices to deal with the overshrink problem. Extensive experiments reveal that the proposed technique preserves edges and texture details of filtered image with lesser number of visual artifacts on visual quality. The proposed technique outperforms the existing techniques over the competitive filtering techniques in terms of structural similarity index metric (SSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and edge preservation index (EPI).

Prestack seismic data denoising is an important step in seismic processing due to the development of prestack time migration. Reduced-rank filtering is a state-of-the-art method for prestack seismic denoising that uses predictability between neighbor traces for each single frequency. Different from the original way of embedding low-rank matrix based on the Hankel or Toeplitz transform, we have developed a new multishot gathers joint denoising method in a line survey, which used a new way of rearranging data to a matrix with low rank. Inspired by video denoising, each single-shot record in the line survey can be viewed as a frame in the video sequence. Due to high redundancy and similar event structure among the shot gathers, similar patches can be selected from different shot gathers in the line survey to rearrange a low-rank matrix. Then, seismic denoising is formulated into a low-rank minimization problem that can be further relaxed into a nuclear-norm minimization problem. A fast algorithm, called the orthogonal rank-one matrix pursuit, is used to solve the nuclear-norm minimization. Using this method avoids the computation of a full singular value decomposition. Our method is validated using synthetic and field data, in comparison with [Formula: see text] deconvolution and singular spectrum analysis methods.

Generally, multimodality data contain different potential information available and are capable of providing an enhanced analytical result compared to monosource data. The way to combine the data plays a crucial role in multimodality data analysis which is worth investigating. Multimodality clustering, which seeks a partition of the data in multiple views, has attracted considerable attention, for example, robust multiview spectral clustering (RMSC) explicitly handles the possible noise in the transition probability matrices associated with different views. Spectral clustering algorithm embeds the input data into a low-dimensional representation by dividing the clustering problem into k subproblems, and the corresponding eigenvalue reflects the loss of each subproblem. So, the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix should be treated differently, while RMSC regularizes each singular value equally when recovering the low-rank matrix. In this paper, we propose a multimodality clustering algorithm which recovers the low-rank matrix by weighted nuclear norm minimization. We also propose a method to evaluate the weight vector by learning a shared low-rank matrix. In our experiments, we use several real-world datasets to test our method, and experimental results show that the proposed method has a better performance than other baselines.
