To alleviate this difficulty,a novel graph regularized sparse coding method for highly undersampled MRI reconstruction( GSCMRI) was proposed. The graph regularized sparse coding showed the potential in maintaining the geometrical information of the data. In this study, it was incorporated with two-level Bregman iterative procedure that updated the data term in outer-level and learned dictionary in innerlevel. Moreover,the graph regularized sparse coding and simple dictionary updating stages derived by the inner minimization made the proposed algorithm converge in few iterations, meanwhile achieving superior reconstruction performance. Extensive experimental results have demonstrated GSCMRI can consistently recover both real-valued MR images and complex-valued MR data efficiently,and outperform the current state-of-the-art approaches in terms of higher PSNR and lower HFEN values.展开更多

This method implements NNSC on the matrix constituted by the intensities of pixels in ISAR images for training, to obtain non-negative sparse bases which characterize sparse distribution of strong scattering centers. Then this paper chooses sparse bases via optimization criteria and calculates the corresponding non-negative sparse codes of both training and test images as the feature vectors, which are input into k neighbors classifier to realize recognition finally.
