A Linear Programming Relaxation for Binary Tomography with Smoothness Priors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We focus on the reconstruction of binary functions from a small number of X-ray projections. The linear–programming (LP) relaxation to this combinatorial optimization problem due to Fishburn et al. is extended to objective functionals with quadratic smoothness priors. We show that the regularized LP–relaxation provides a good approximation and thus allows to bias the reconstruction towards solutions with spatially coherent regions. These solutions can be computed with any interior– point solver and a related rounding technique. Our approach provides an alternative to computationally expensive MCMC–sampling (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) techniques and other heuristic rounding schemes.

A lagrangean approach to reconstruct bicolored images from discrete orthogonal projections
The problem of reconstructing bicolored images from their orthogonal projections is studied. A binary integer programming model is formulated to build small size bicolored images with smoothness properties. Since the problem is NP-complete, we provide an iterative approximation based on lagrangean relaxation. Keyword: Discrete Tomography; Images Reconstruction; Lagrangean Relaxation
متن کاملCompact Relaxations for MAP Inference in Pairwise MRFs with Piecewise Linear Priors
Label assignment problems with large state spaces are important tasks especially in computer vision. Often the pairwise interaction (or smoothness prior) between labels assigned at adjacent nodes (or pixels) can be described as a function of the label difference. Exact inference in such labeling tasks is still difficult, and therefore approximate inference methods based on a linear programming ...
متن کاملDISCRETE TOMOGRAPHY AND FUZZY INTEGER PROGRAMMING
We study the problem of reconstructing binary images from four projections data in a fuzzy environment. Given the uncertainly projections,w e want to find a binary image that respects as best as possible these projections. We provide an iterative algorithm based on fuzzy integer programming and linear membership functions.
متن کاملPrior Learning and Convex-Concave Regularization of Binary Tomography
In our previous work, we introduced a convex-concave regularization approach to the reconstruction of binary objects from few projections within a limited range of angles. A convex reconstruction functional, comprising the projections equations and a smoothness prior, was complemented with a concave penalty term enforcing binary solutions. In the present work we investigate alternatives to the ...
متن کاملA Convex Discrete-Continuous Approach for Markov Random Fields
We propose an extension of the well-known LP relaxation for Markov random fields to explicitly allow continuous label spaces. Unlike conventional continuous formulations of labelling problems which assume that the unary and pairwise potentials are convex, our formulation allows them to be general piecewise convex functions with continuous domains. Furthermore, we present the extension of the wi...
