Description
Summary:In this paper, a novel Magnetic Resonance (MR) reconstruction framework which com- bines image-wise and patch-wise sparse prior is proposed. For addressing, a truncated beta-Bernoulli process is firstly employed to enforce sparsity on overlapping image patches emphasizing local struc- tures. Due to its properties, beta-Bernoulli process can adaptive infer the sparsity (number of non- zero coefficients) of each patch, an appropriate dictionary, and the noise variance simultaneously, which are prerequisite for iterative image reconstruction. Secondly, a General Gaussian Distribution (GGD) prior is introduced to engage image-wise sparsity for wavelet coefficients, which can be then estimated by a threshold denoising algorithra. Finally, MR image is reconstructed by patch-wise es- timation, image-wise estimation and under-sampled k-space data with least square data fitting. Ex- perimental results have demonstrated that proposed approach exhibits excellent reconstruction per- formance. Moreover, if the image is full of similar low-dimensional-structures, proposed algorithm has dramatically improved Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) 7-9 dB, with comparisons to other state-of-art compressive sampling methods.
