Absolute Phase Estimation in InSAR (Interferometric SAR) InSAR Problem: Estimate 2- 1 from signals read by s1 and s2

Magnetic Resonance Imaging - MRI Wrapped phase Intensity Interferomeric Phase • measure temperature • visualize veins in tissues • water-fat separation • mapthe principal magnetic field
Outline • Forward problem (sensor model) • Absolute phase estimation: Bayesian formulation • Computing the MAP estimate via integer optimization • Multi-source absolute phase estimation • Phase unwrapping • Convex and non-convex priors • Unambiguous interval increasing • Phase unwrapping • Convex and non-convex priors
Data density: Prior (1st order MRF): clique set clique potential (pairwise interaction) non-convex convex Enforce smoothness Enforce piecewise smoothness (discontinuity preserving) Bayesian Approach
posterior density • Phase unwrapping: Maximum a Posteriori Estimation Criterion

is submodular: each binary optimization has the complexity of a min cut • Related algorithms [Veksler, 99] (1-jump moves ) [Murota, 03] (steepest descent algorithm for L-convex functions) [Ishikawa, 03] (MRFs with convex priors) [Kolmogorov & Shioura, 05,07], [Darbon. 05](Include unary terms) [Ahuja, Hochbaum, Orlin, 03] (convex dual network flow problem) PUMA: Convex Priors • A local minimum is a global minimum • Takes at most K iterations
Results ( ) Convex priors does not preserve discontinuities
PUMA: Non-convex priors Ex: Models discontinuities Models Gaussian noise Shortcomings: • Local minima is no more a global minima • Energy contains nonsubmodular terms (NP-hard) Tentative suboptimal solutions: • Majorization Minimization • Quadratic Pseudo Boolean Optimization (Probing [Boros et al., 2006], Improving [Rother et al., 2007] )

PUMA + dyadic scaling then • Unary terms may be non-convex Compute using the algorithm [Darbon, 07] for 1st order submodular priors (complexity ) Absolute Phase (PU + Denoising) • Related algorithms: [Zalesky, 03], [Ishikawa, 03], [Ahuja, Hochbaum, Orlin, 04]
Noise High phase rate Major degradation mechanism in PU and APE
Use more than one observation with different frequencies Two sources We can infer • noise is an issue • unwrap phase images with range larger than Multi-source Absolute Phase Estimation
Absolute phase estimation: • Phase v-unwrapping: Computing the MAP estimate
Initialization: 1-unwrapp in the interval using total variation (TV) Optimization: Non-convex data term + TV Exact solution: Levelable functions [Darbon, 07], [Ahuja et al, 04], [Zalesky, 03], [Ishikawa, 03], (takes time) 2. Run PUMA in a multiscale fashion with the schedule: • scale v ! v-unwrapping] • scales ! denoising Proposed Algorithm
for t=0:tmax success == false while success == false then success == true Absolute Phase (1-PU+v-PU + Denoising)
Future Directions • High order interactions • Denoise (first) + Unwrap • Local adaptive models (collaboration with Vladimir Katkovnik, Tampere University of Technology) • Huge images (ex: 10000£10000)
Concluding Remarks • Addressed discontinuity preserving phase unwrapping and phase denoising methods based on integer optimization • Addressed multi-source absolute phase estimation • Introduced the concept of v-phase unwrapping • Introduced a new algorithm for multi-source absolute phase estimation based on integer optimization
