Abstract
Recent theory of compressed sensing informs us that near-exact recovery of an unknown sparse signal is possible from a very limited number of Fourier samples by solving a convex L1 optimization problem. The main contribution of the present letter is a compressed sensing-based novel nonparametric shape estimation framework and a computational algorithm for binary star shape objects, whose radius functions belong to the space of bounded-variation functions. Specifically, in contrast with standard compressed sensing, the present approach involves directly reconstructing the shape boundary under sparsity constraint. This is done by converting the standard pixel-based reconstruction approach into estimation of a nonparametric shape boundary on a wavelet basis. This results in an L1 minimization under a nonlinear constraint, which makes the optimization problem nonconvex. We solve the problem by successive linearization and application of one-dimensional L1 minimization, which significantly reduces the number of sampling requirements as well as the computational burden. Fourier imaging simulation results demonstrate that high quality reconstruction can be quickly obtained from a very limited number of samples. Furthermore, the algorithm outperforms the standard compressed sensing reconstruction approach using the total variation norm.
