Dual-space Compressed Sensing

Abstract

Compressed sensing (CS) is a powerful method routinely employed to accelerate image acquisition. It is particularly suited to situations when the image under consideration is sparse but can be sampled in a basis where it is non-sparse. Here we propose an alternate CS regime in situations where the image can be sampled in two incoherent spaces simultaneously, with a special focus on image sampling in Fourier reciprocal spaces (e.g. real-space and k-space). Information is fed-forward from one space to the other, allowing new opportunities to efficiently solve the optimization problem at the heart of CS image reconstruction. We show that considerable gains in imaging acceleration are then possible over conventional CS. The technique provides enhanced robustness to noise, and is well suited to edge-detection problems. We envision applications for imaging collections of nanodiamond (ND) particles targeting specific regions in a volume of interest, exploiting the ability of lattice defects (NV centers) to allow ND particles to be imaged in reciprocal spaces simultaneously via optical fluorescence and 13C magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) respectively. Broadly this work suggests the potential to interface CS principles with hybrid sampling strategies to yield speedup in signal acquisition in many practical settings.

Bridging the Inter-Domain Gap through Low-Level Features for Cross-Modal Medical Image Segmentation

This paper addresses cross-modal medical image segmentation, focusing on MRI-CT transfer in a source-only domain generalization setting. During training, only source-modality samples are available, while unlabeled target-modality images are used for testing. We propose LowBridge, which builds on the observation that cross-modal images share similar low-level features (e.g. edges) as they depict the same types of anatomical structures. Specifically, we first train a generative model to recover the source images from their edge features, followed by training a segmentation model on the generated source images, separately. At test time, edge features from the target images are input to the pretrained generative model to generate source-style target domain images, which are then segmented using the pretrained segmentation network. Experiments on various public datasets demonstrate that LowBridge achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming ten existing approaches. Ablation studies further show that LowBridge is compatible with different types of generative and segmentation models, suggesting its generalizability and potential to benefit from future advances in these models. The code will be available at https://github.com/JoshuaLPF/LowBridge.

Revolutionizing Diffusion MRI Microstructure Mapping via Global Inversion

Diffusion MRI microstructure mapping (MM) is conventionally solved voxel by voxel, ignoring the fact that tissue microstructure forms a spatially organized field. This isolation leaves each estimation problem ill-posed and nonconvex. We instead cast MM as a single global inverse problem, reconstructing the entire parameter field jointly from all measurements of a subject. An untrained neural representation supplies implicit spatial priors and eases the nonconvex optimization, requiring no training data, while coregistered T1-weighted anatomy contributes structural guidance that is freely available in standard protocols. On both synthetic and in-vivo data, our method compares favorably with established voxel-wise and learning-based baselines, suggesting global inversion is a promising alternative.

LC3EM: Long-Range Context Extrapolation Enhanced Entropy Model for Coordinate-based Overfitting Image Codecs

Coordinate-based overfitting image codecs have attracted increasing attention for their low decoding complexity and independence from cross-image generalization. However, representative approaches such as COOL-CHIC face an inherent entropy-modeling trade-off: lightweight models have limited capacity, while more expressive ones incur additional bitrate overhead from transmitting image-specific parameters. Inspired by the prediction mechanism in traditional codecs, we propose a new entropy-modeling strategy that introduces complementary prediction modes with region-adaptive soft mode selection, rather than relying on a single learned predictor to model diverse types of redundancy. Based on this concept, we develop a Long-Range Context Extrapolation Enhanced Entropy Model (LC3EM), which can be integrated into coordinate-based overfitting codecs. Specifically, a parameter-free Neighborhood-based Linear Extrapolation Mode (NLEM) complements the tiny MLP-based local predictor to exploit long-range contextual redundancy and strongly directional structures. A Minimum-Entropy-Inspired Continuous Mode Selection strategy is designed to adaptively fuse these two complementary modes, while requiring the transmission of only the parameters of a single additional linear layer. Moreover, to alleviate the mismatch between training-time relaxed and actual discrete quantization, we introduce a lightweight iterative latent rounding refinement stage to improve compression performance. Experiments demonstrate consistent improvements across diverse benchmarks, particularly on highly regular computer-generated images. When integrated with COOL-CHIC 4.0, the proposed method achieves BD-rate gains of -3.43\% and -7.69\% on the SIQAD and API datasets, respectively. With COOL-CHIC 5.0 as the backbone, the corresponding gains are -2.88\% and -3.15\%, respectively. The code will be made publicly available soon.
