Abstract

Abstract : Recently, deep learning methods have made a remarkable improvement in compressed sensing image recovery stage. In the compressed measurement stage, the existing methods measured by block by block owing to a huge measurement dictionary for the whole images and the high computational complexity. In this work, a novel deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) named Convolutional Measurement Compressed Sensing network (CMCS‐net) is proposed for image compressed sensing considering both convolutional measurement (CM) and sparse prior. Different from existing works, the convolution operation is adopted both in the measurement phase and reconstruction phase, which retains the structure information of images much better. Simultaneously, the size of the measurement matrix is no longer limited by data dimensions. Particularly, by unfolding the CM process to analyse a Toeplitz‐type matrix, the theoretical support of the convolutional compressed measurement is proposed. In addition, in the recovery phase, the authors consider the sparse prior in nature images by embedding the truncated hierarchical projection algorithm into their architecture to solve the problem of multilayered convolutional sparse coding. Furthermore, extensive experiments demonstrate that their proposed CMCS‐net can marvellously reconstruct the images and fully remove the block artefact.
