1 Sparse Astronomical Data Analysis Jean-Luc Starck Collaborators: J. Bobin., F. Sureau CEA Saclay

2 What is a good representation for data? A signal s (n samples) can be represented as sum of weighted elements of a given dictionary Dictionary (basis, frame) Atoms Ex: Haar wavelet coefficients Few large coefficients Many small coefficients Sorted index k Fast calculation of the coefficients Analyze the signal through the statistical properties of the coefficients Approximation theory uses the sparsity of the coefficients 2-2

3 Sparse Model: we consider a dictionary which has a fast transform/reconstruction operator: Local DCT Stationary textures Locally oscillatory Wavelet transform Piecewise smooth Isotropic structures Curvelet transform Piecewise smooth, edge

4 NGC2997

5 The STARLET Transform Isotropic Undecimated Wavelet Transform (a trous algorithm) " = B 3 # spline, 1 2 $(x 2 ) = 1 2 "( x 2 ) #"(x) h = [1,4,6,4,1]/16, g = % - h, h = g = % I(k,l) = c J,k,l + " J w j=1 j,k,l

6 Inverse Problem Regularization using Sparsity Y = AX + N Between all possible solutions, we want the one which has the sparsest representation in the dictionary Φ. It leads to the following optimization problem: 1 min α 1,,α T 2σ 2 Y AΦα2 + λ T α i p p, 0 p<2. i=1 X = Φα A sparse model can be interpreted in a Bayesian framework Assuming the coefficients α of the solution in the dictionary Φ follow a leptokurtic PDF with heavy tails such as the generalized Gaussian distribution form: T pdf α (α 1,...,α T ) exp λ α i p p 0 p<2. i=1

7 Denoising using a sparsity model Denoising using a sparsity prior on the solution: X is sparse in Φ, i.e.x = Φα where most of α are negligible. α arg min α 1 2 Y Φα 2 +t α p p, 0 p 1.

8 α arg min α p=0 1 2 Y Φα 2 + t2 2 α 0 ==> Solution via Iterative Hard Thresholding α (t+1) =HardThresh µt ( α (t) + µφ T (Y Φ α (t) )),µ=1/ Φ 2. 1st iteration solution: X = Φ HardThresh t (Φ T Y )= Φ,t (Y ) Exact for Φ orthonormal. Soft prior Noise Modeling

9 p=1 ==> Solution via iterative Soft Thresholding α (t+1) =SoftThresh µt ( α (t) + µφ T (Y Φ α (t) )),µ (0, 2/ Φ 2 ). 1st iteration solution: Exact for Φ orthonormal. X = Φ SoftThresh t (Φ T Y )= Φ,t (Y )

13 Inverse Problems and Iterative Thresholding Minimizing Algorithm 1 T min α 1,,α T 2σ 2 Y AΦα2 + λ α i p p, 0 p<2. i=1 Iterative thresholding with a varying threshold was proposed in (Starck et al, 2004; Elad et al, 2005) for sparse signal decomposition in order to accelerate the convergence. The idea consists in using a different threshold at each iteration. For IST: For IHT: More Refs: Vonesch et al, 2007; Elad et al 2008; Wright et al., 2008; Nesterov, 2008 and Beck-Teboulle, 2009; Blumensath, 2008; Maleki et Donoho, 2009 ; etc.

35 Semi-Blind Source Separation Standard approaches amount to model each observation as a linear mixture of elementary components (i.e. CMB, SZ, Synchrotron, Free-Free, Dust...) : i; x i = j a ij s j + n j Which can be recast as: X = AS + N Blind source separation: The objective is to estimate both A and S simultaneously!! - CMB, SZ and Free-Free emission : their electromagnetic spectrum is well known (i.e. the related columns of A are known and fixed). - Synchrotron emission : rank-1 assumption / its electromagnetic spectrum is a power law with an unknown spectral index. We have nine channels and we search for nine sources: 4 sources are modeled and 5 are not modeled. 35

Moudden, "Blind Source Separation: The Sparsity Revolution", Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics, Vol 152, pp , Source: S =[s 1,s n ] We define a dictionary φ Data: X =[x 1,..., x n ]=AS + N GMCA searches a sparse solution S in the dictionary subject to the constraint that the norm X AS 2 is minimal. φ A and S are estimated alternately and iteratively in two steps : 1) Estimate S assuming A is fixed (iterative thresholding) : {S} = Argmin S j λ j s j W 1 + X AS 2 F,Σ 2) Estimate A assuming S is fixed (a simple least square problem) : {A} = Argmin A X AS 2 F,Σ 36
