Adaptive Block-Based Compressed Video Sensing Based on Saliency Detection and Side Information

The setting of the measurement number for each block is very important for a block-based compressed sensing system. However, in practical applications, we only have the initial measurement results of the original signal on the sampling side instead of the original signal itself, therefore, we cannot directly allocate the appropriate measurement number for each block without the sparsity of the original signal. To solve this problem, we propose an adaptive block-based compressed video sensing scheme based on saliency detection and side information. According to the Johnson–Lindenstrauss lemma, we can use the initial measurement results to perform saliency detection and then obtain the saliency value for each block. Meanwhile, a side information frame which is an estimate of the current frame is generated on the reconstruction side by the proposed probability fusion model, and the significant coefficient proportion of each block is estimated through the side information frame. Both the saliency value and significant coefficient proportion can reflect the sparsity of the block. Finally, these two estimates of block sparsity are fused, so that we can simultaneously use intra-frame and inter-frame correlation for block sparsity estimation. Then the measurement number of each block can be allocated according to the fusion sparsity. Besides, we propose a global recovery model based on weighting, which can reduce the block effect of reconstructed frames. The experimental results show that, compared with existing schemes, the proposed scheme can achieve a significant improvement in peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) at the same sampling rate.

Two-Dimensional ISAR Fusion Imaging of Block Structure Targets

The range resolution and azimuth resolution are restricted by the limited transmitting bandwidth and observation angle in a monostatic radar system. To improve the two-dimensional resolution of inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging, a fast linearized Bregman iteration for unconstrained block sparsity (FLBIUB) algorithm is proposed to achieve multiradar ISAR fusion imaging of block structure targets. First, the ISAR imaging echo data of block structure targets is established based on the geometrical theory of the diffraction model. The multiradar ISAR fusion imaging is transformed into a signal sparse representation problem by vectorization operation. Then, considering the block sparsity of the echo data of block structure targets, the FLBIUB algorithm is utilized to achieve the block sparse signal reconstruction and obtain the fusion image. The algorithm further accelerates the iterative convergence speed and improves the imaging efficiency by combining the weighted back-adding residual and condition number optimization of the basis matrix. Finally, simulation experiments show that the proposed method can effectively achieve block sparse signal reconstruction and two-dimensional multiradar ISAR fusion imaging of block structure targets.
