Abstract
We introduce a new algorithm to solve a regularized spatial-spectral image estimation problem. Our approach is based on the linearized alternating directions method of multipliers (LADMM), which is a variation of the popular ADMM algorithm. Although LADMM has existed for some time, it has not been very widely used in the computational imaging literature. This is in part because there are many possible ways of mapping LADMM to a specific optimization problem, and it is nontrivial to find a computationally efficient implementation out of the many competing alternatives. We believe that our proposed implementation represents the first application of LADMM to the type of optimization problem considered in this work (involving a linear-mixture forward model, spatial regularization, and nonnegativity constraints). We evaluate our algorithm in a variety of multiparametric MRI partial volume mapping scenarios (diffusion-relaxation, relaxation-relaxation, relaxometry, and fingerprinting), where we consistently observe substantial ($\sim 3 \,\times$−50 ×) speed improvements. We expect this to reduce barriers to using spatially-regularized partial volume compartment mapping methods. Further, the considerable improvements we observed also suggest the potential value of considering LADMM for a broader set of computational imaging problems.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging will publish articles where computation plays an integral role in the image formation process. Papers will cover all areas of computational imaging ranging from fundamental theoretical methods to the latest innovative computational imaging system designs. Topics of interest will include advanced algorithms and mathematical techniques, model-based data inversion, methods for image and signal recovery from sparse and incomplete data, techniques for non-traditional sensing of image data, methods for dynamic information acquisition and extraction from imaging sensors, software and hardware for efficient computation in imaging systems, and highly novel imaging system design.
