The first part includes a review of the mathematical methods and foundations required, and covers topics in image quality optimization and assessment. The second part of the book discusses concepts in image formation and capture from color imaging to radar and multispectral imaging. The third part focuses on sparsity constrained optimization in image processing and vision and includes inverse problems such as image restoration and de-noising, image classification and recognition and learning-based problems pertinent to image understanding. Throughout, convex optimization techniques are shown to be a critically important mathematical tool for imaging science problems and applied extensively. Convex Optimization Methods in Imaging Science is the first book of its kind and will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students, industrial researchers and engineers and those generally interested in computational aspects of modern, real-world imaging and image processing problems.

Download or read book Large Scale Convex Optimization written by Ernest K. Ryu and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from where a first course in convex optimization leaves off, this text presents a unified analysis of first-order optimization methods – including parallel-distributed algorithms – through the abstraction of monotone operators. With the increased computational power and availability of big data over the past decade, applied disciplines have demanded that larger and larger optimization problems be solved. This text covers the first-order convex optimization methods that are uniquely effective at solving these large-scale optimization problems. Readers will have the opportunity to construct and analyze many well-known classical and modern algorithms using monotone operators, and walk away with a solid understanding of the diverse optimization algorithms. Graduate students and researchers in mathematical optimization, operations research, electrical engineering, statistics, and computer science will appreciate this concise introduction to the theory of convex optimization algorithms.

Download or read book Optimal First Order Methods for a Class of Non Smooth Convex Optimization with Applications to Image Analysis written by Yuyuan Ouyang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This PhD Dissertation concerns optimal first order methods in convex optimization, and their applications in imaging science. The research is motivated by the rapid advances in the technologies for digital data acquisition, which results in high demand for efficient algorithms to solve non-smooth convex optimization problems. In this dissertation we will develop theories and optimal numerical methods for solving a class of deterministic and stochastic saddle point problems and more general variational inequalities arising from large-scale data analysis problems. In the first part of this dissertation, we aim to solve a class of deterministic and stochastic saddle point problems (SPP), which has been considered as a framework of ill-posed inverse problems regularized by a non-smooth functional in many data analysis problems, such as image reconstruction in compressed sensing and machine learning. The proposed deterministic accelerated primal dual (APD) algorithm is expected to have the same optimal rate of convergence as the one obtained by Nesterov for a different scheme. We also propose a stochastic APD algorithm that also exhibits an optimal rate of convergence. To our best knowledge, no stochastic primal-dual algorithms have been developed in literatures.

Download or read book First Order Methods in Optimization written by Amir Beck and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goal of this book is to provide a self-contained, comprehensive study of the main ?rst-order methods that are frequently used in solving large-scale problems. First-order methods exploit information on values and gradients/subgradients (but not Hessians) of the functions composing the model under consideration. With the increase in the number of applications that can be modeled as large or even huge-scale optimization problems, there has been a revived interest in using simple methods that require low iteration cost as well as low memory storage. The author has gathered, reorganized, and synthesized (in a unified manner) many results that are currently scattered throughout the literature, many of which cannot be typically found in optimization books. First-Order Methods in Optimization offers comprehensive study of first-order methods with the theoretical foundations; provides plentiful examples and illustrations; emphasizes rates of convergence and complexity analysis of the main first-order methods used to solve large-scale problems; and covers both variables and functional decomposition methods.

Download or read book Convex Optimization written by Sébastien Bubeck and published by Foundations and Trends (R) in Machine Learning. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents the main complexity theorems in convex optimization and their corresponding algorithms. It begins with the fundamental theory of black-box optimization and proceeds to guide the reader through recent advances in structural optimization and stochastic optimization. The presentation of black-box optimization, strongly influenced by the seminal book by Nesterov, includes the analysis of cutting plane methods, as well as (accelerated) gradient descent schemes. Special attention is also given to non-Euclidean settings (relevant algorithms include Frank-Wolfe, mirror descent, and dual averaging), and discussing their relevance in machine learning. The text provides a gentle introduction to structural optimization with FISTA (to optimize a sum of a smooth and a simple non-smooth term), saddle-point mirror prox (Nemirovski's alternative to Nesterov's smoothing), and a concise description of interior point methods. In stochastic optimization it discusses stochastic gradient descent, mini-batches, random coordinate descent, and sublinear algorithms. It also briefly touches upon convex relaxation of combinatorial problems and the use of randomness to round solutions, as well as random walks based methods.

Download or read book Splitting Algorithms for Convex Optimization and Applications to Sparse Matrix Factorization written by Rong Rong and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several important applications in machine learning, data mining, signal and image processing can be formulated as the problem of factoring a large data matrix as a product of sparse matrices. Sparse matrix factorization problems are usually solved via alternating convex optimization methods. These methods involve at each iteration a large convex optimization problem with non-differentiable cost and constraint functions, which is typically solved by block coordinate descent algorithm. In this thesis, we investigate first-order algorithms based on forward-backward splitting and Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithms, as an alternative to the block coordinate descent algorithm. We describe efficient methods to evaluate the proximal operators and resolvents needed in the splitting algorithms. We discuss in detail two applications: Structured Sparse Principal Component Analysis and Sparse Dictionary Learning. For these two applications, we compare the splitting algorithms and block coordinate descent on synthetic data and benchmark data sets. Experimental results show that several of the splitting methods, in particular Tseng's modified forward-backward method and the Chambolle-Pock splitting method, are often faster and more accurate than the block coordinate descent algorithm.

Download or read book Proximal Algorithms written by Neal Parikh and published by Now Pub. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proximal Algorithms discusses proximal operators and proximal algorithms, and illustrates their applicability to standard and distributed convex optimization in general and many applications of recent interest in particular. Much like Newton's method is a standard tool for solving unconstrained smooth optimization problems of modest size, proximal algorithms can be viewed as an analogous tool for nonsmooth, constrained, large-scale, or distributed versions of these problems. They are very generally applicable, but are especially well-suited to problems of substantial recent interest involving large or high-dimensional datasets. Proximal methods sit at a higher level of abstraction than classical algorithms like Newton's method: the base operation is evaluating the proximal operator of a function, which itself involves solving a small convex optimization problem. These subproblems, which generalize the problem of projecting a point onto a convex set, often admit closed-form solutions or can be solved very quickly with standard or simple specialized methods. Proximal Algorithms discusses different interpretations of proximal operators and algorithms, looks at their connections to many other topics in optimization and applied mathematics, surveys some popular algorithms, and provides a large number of examples of proximal operators that commonly arise in practice.

Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, it has been recognized that advanced image processing techniques provide valuable information to physicians for the diagnosis, image guided therapy and surgery, and monitoring of human diseases. Convex Optimization: Theory, Methods and Applications introduces novel and sophisticated mathematical problems which encourage the development of advanced optimization and computing methods, especially convex optimization.The authors go on to study Steffensen-King-type methods of convergence to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation and also in problems of convex optimization. Real-world applications are also provided.The following study is focused on the design and testing of a Matlab code of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm. The Nesterov step is proposed in order to accelerate the algorithm, and the results of some numerical experiments of constraint optimization are also provided.Lagrangian methods for numerical solutions to constrained convex programs are also explored. For enhanced algorithms, the traditional Lagrange multiplier update is modified to take a soft reflection across the zero boundary. This, coupled with a modified drift expression, is shown to yield improved performance.Next, Newton's mesh independence principle was used to solve a certain class of optimal design problems from earlier studies. Motivated by optimization considerations, the authors show that under the same computational cost, a finer mesh independence principle can be given than before.This compilation closes with a presentation on a local convergence analysis for eighth�order variants of Hansen�Patrick�s family for approximating a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation.
