Sparse and Redundant Representations From Theory to Applications in Signal and Image Processing A brief introduction. Dictionary Learning is a topic in the Signal Processing area. Sparse Representation or Approximation of signals. A dictionary is a collection of atoms, here the atoms are real column vectors of length N. A finite dictionary of K atoms can be represented. D of size Nx. K. In a Sparse Representation a vector x is represented or approximated as a linear. The approximation xa can be written asxa D wwhere w is a vector containg the coefficients and. Dictionary Learning is the problem of finding a dictionary such that the approximations of. This page describes some experiments done on Dictionary Learning. The complete theory of dictionary learning is not told here. Section 4 presents the results of the experiments used in the RLS DLA paper. Sparse approximation. In Matlab version 2. Matching Pursuit algorithms are included in the wavelet toolbox, see Wavelet Toolbox User Guide. Let the dictionary D be represented as a real matrix of size. Nx. K and K N. Given a test vector x of size Nx. D are often called atoms in a sparse approximation context. Denoting the atoms as d. K. one example of a sparse approximation isxa w1d. The elements wi where i is 1, 4, 7 and 9 in this example. Collecting the coefficients into a vector w. D w, and the representation error can be written as. D w. If most of the entries in w are zero this is a sparse representation. N. The problem of finding w is the sparse approximation problem. D w subject to number of non zeros in w smaller or equal to s. A common way to write this problem is. As increases the solution is getting more dense. The problem with p0 is NP hard. Good, but not necessarily optimal, solutions can be found by matching pursuit algorithms. ORMP algorithm. The problem with p1 is easier, the LARS algorithm is effective for solving this problem. Both ORMP and LARS find w in a greedy way, starting with an all zero vector in w. For the LARS algorithm this corresponds to all the solutions to Eq. For both ORMP and LARS there must be a stopping criterium. This can be that the 0 norm number of non zeros the 1 norm sum of absolute values or. We should note that both LARS and ORMP implementations often are more effective when a fixed dictionary. D can be used to find the solutions for several signal vectors at once. The function sparseapprox. The available methods can be. Matlab standard functions pinv,, linprog. Thresholding can force sparseness onto the coefficients.

Mairal et al. is installed and available from Matlab then sparseapprox. Lasso and mex. OMP functions there. These implementations are extremly fast. There exist no standard naming for the matching pursuit. OMP here returns exactly the same sparse approximations as. ORMP and ORMP, but it is faster. A test of the sparseapprox.
