Pulsed Thermography (PT) data are usually affected by noise and as such most of the research effort in the last few years has been directed towards the development of advanced signal processing methods to improve defect detection. Among the numerous techniques that have been proposed, principal component thermography (PCT)—based on principal component analysis (PCA)—is one of the most effective in terms of defect contrast enhancement and data compression. However, it is well-known that PCA can be significantly affected in the presence of corrupted data (e.g., noise and outliers). Robust PCA (RPCA) has been recently proposed as an alternative statistical method that handles noisy data more properly by decomposing the input data into a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix. We propose to process PT data by RPCA instead of PCA in order to improve defect detectability. The performance of the resulting approach, Robust Principal Component Thermography (RPCT)—based on RPCA, was evaluated with respect to PCT—based on PCA, using a CFRP sample containing artificially produced defects. We compared results quantitatively based on two metrics, Contrast-to-Noise Ratio (CNR), for defect detection capabilities, and the Jaccard similarity coefficient, for defect segmentation potential. CNR results were on average 40% higher for RPCT than for PCT, and the Jaccard index was slightly higher for RPCT (0.7395) than for PCT (0.7010). In terms of computational time, however, PCT was 11.5 times faster than RPCT. Further investigations are needed to assess RPCT performance on a wider range of materials and to optimize computational time.

Principal Component Pursuit (PCP) recovers low-dimensional structures from a small set of linear measurements, such as low rank matrix and sparse matrix. Pervious works mainly focus on exact recovery without additional noise. However, in many applications the observed measurements are corrupted by an additional white Gaussian noise (AWGN). In this paper, we model the recovered matrix the sum a low-rank matrix, a sparse matrix and an AWGN. We propose a weighted PCP for the recovery matrix, which is solved by alternating direction method. Numerical results show that the reconstructions performance of weighted PCP outperforms the classical PCP in term of accuracy.

This paper studies the iterative threshold algorithm (ITA) for solving the Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) problems, which is to recover a low-rank matrix with a fraction of its entries being arbitrarily corrupted. By utilizing the primal-dual method, we analyze the ITA in a new way and prove that the ITA is essentially equivalent to gradient method applying to a dual problem. In the original ITA, it is hard to choose the parameters and hence it converges very slowly. Now, based on the new insight, existing techniques of the gradient method can be used to accelerate the ITA. We combine the theoretical derivation with the numerical simulation experiments to give an empirical guidance to set the parameters. As illustration, background modeling problem is solved by the ITA with optimal parameters.

Sparse and low-rank matrix decomposition (SLMD) tries to decompose a matrix into a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix, it has recently attached much research interest and has good applications in many fields. An infrared image with small target usually has slowly transitional background, it can be seen as the sum of low-rank background component and sparse target component. So by SLMD, the sparse target component can be separated from the infrared image and then be used for small infrared target detection (SITD). The augmented Lagrange method, which is currently the most efficient algorithm used for solving SLMD, was applied in this paper for SITD, some parameters were analyzed and adjusted for SITD. Experimental results show our algorithm is fast and reliable.

Background modeling of video frame sequences is a prerequisite for computer vision applications. Robust principal component analysis(RPCA), which aims to recover low rank matrix in applications of data mining and machine learning, has shown improved background modeling performance. Unfortunately, The traditional RPCA method considers the batch recovery of low rank matrix of all samples, which leads to higher storage cost. This paper proposes a novel online motion-aware RPCA algorithm, named OM-RPCAT, which adopt truncated nuclear norm regularization as an approximation method for of low rank constraint. And then, Two methods are employed to obtain the motion estimation matrix, the optical flow and the frame selection, which are merged into the data items to separate the foreground and background. Finally, an efficient alternating optimization algorithm is designed in an online manner. Experimental evaluations of challenging sequences demonstrate promising results over state-of-the-art methods in online application.

Key and difficult points of background subtraction method lie in looking for an ideal background modeling under complex scene. Stacking the individual frames as columns of a big matrix, background parts can be viewed as a low-rank background matrix because of large similarity among individual frames, yet foreground parts can be viewed as a sparse matrix as foreground parts play a small role in individual frames. Thus the process of video background modeling is in fact a process of low-rank matrix recovery. Background modeling based on low-rank matrix recovery can separate foreground images from background at the same time without pre-training samples, besides, the approach is robust to illumination changes. However, there exist some shortcomings in background modeling based on low-rank matrix recovery by analyzing numerical experiments, which is developed from three aspects.

The principal component prsuit with reduced linear measurements (PCP_RLM) has gained great attention in applications, such as machine learning, video, and aligning multiple images. The recent research shows that strongly convex optimization for compressive principal component pursuit can guarantee the exact low-rank matrix recovery and sparse matrix recovery as well. In this paper, we prove that the operator of PCP_RLM satisfies restricted isometry property (RIP) with high probability. In addition, we derive the bound of parameters depending only on observed quantities based on RIP property, which will guide us how to choose suitable parameters in strongly convex programming.

Missing data padding is an important problem that is faced in real time. This makes the task of data processing challenging. This paper aims to design a solution for this problem which is ways different from traditional approaches. The proposed method is based on co-cluster sparse matrix learning (CCSML) method. This algorithm learns without reference class, and even with data continuous missing rate as high as the existing techniques. This method is based on a tensor optimization model and labeled maximum block. The computational models of sparse recovery learning are based on low-rank matrix and co-clusters of genome-wide association study (GWAS) data matrices, and the performance is better than existing techniques.

Abstract Most of the current image fusion algorithms directly process the original image, neglect the analysis of the main components of the image, and have a great influence on the effect of image fusion. In this paper, the main component analysis method is used to decompose the image, divided into low rank matrix and sparse matrix, introduced compression perception technology and NSST transformation algorithm to process the two types of matrix, according to the corresponding fusion rules to achieve image fusion, through experimental results: this algorithm has greater mutual information compared with traditional algorithms, structural information similarity and average gradient.
