  • Title: Performance evaluation of typical approximation algorithms for nonconvex ℓp-minimization in diffuse optical tomography.
    Author: Shaw CB, Yalavarthy PK.
    Journal: J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis; 2014 Apr 01; 31(4):852-62. PubMed ID: 24695149.
    Abstract:
    The sparse estimation methods that utilize the ℓp-norm, with p being between 0 and 1, have shown better utility in providing optimal solutions to the inverse problem in diffuse optical tomography. These ℓp-norm-based regularizations make the optimization function nonconvex, and algorithms that implement ℓp-norm minimization utilize approximations to the original ℓp-norm function. In this work, three such typical methods for implementing the ℓp-norm were considered, namely, iteratively reweighted ℓ1-minimization (IRL1), iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS), and the iteratively thresholding method (ITM). These methods were deployed for performing diffuse optical tomographic image reconstruction, and a systematic comparison with the help of three numerical and gelatin phantom cases was executed. The results indicate that these three methods in the implementation of ℓp-minimization yields similar results, with IRL1 fairing marginally in cases considered here in terms of shape recovery and quantitative accuracy of the reconstructed diffuse optical tomographic images.
