Background
- Image reconstruction from under-sampled measurements is challenging for piecewise constant objects.
- Sparse solutions are often desired, typically achieved via L1-norm minimization.
- Minimizing the non-differentiable L1-norm presents computational difficulties.
Purpose Of The Study
- To introduce a novel 'meta L1-norm' function for image reconstruction.
- To develop a straightforward gradient descent algorithm for enforcing sparsity.
- To apply the meta L1-norm to few-view tomography.
Main Methods
- Development of a differentiable meta L1-norm function, bridging L1 and Total Variation (TV) norms.
- Derivation of an explicit subdifferential for the meta L1-norm.
- Implementation of a gradient descent algorithm for iterative image reconstruction.
Main Results
- The meta L1-norm facilitates a tractable gradient descent algorithm for sparse solutions.
- Computer simulations demonstrate effective reconstruction of piecewise constant objects.
- The meta L1-norm shows promise in few-view tomography applications.
Conclusions
- The proposed meta L1-norm offers a viable alternative to traditional L1 and TV norms for image reconstruction.
- This method simplifies the enforcement of sparsity in inverse problems.
- The meta L1-norm effectively guides image reconstruction towards piecewise constant solutions.

Conformity is the change in a person’s behavior to go along with the group, even if that person does not agree with the group.
Asch’s Original Study
Solomon Asch conducted several experiments in the 1950s to determine how people are affected by the thoughts and behaviors of other people. In one study, a group of participants was shown a series of printed line segments of different lengths: a, b, and c. Participants were then shown a fourth line segment: x. They...
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
Nonconscious mimicry occurs when individuals alter their mannerisms to match the behaviors and expressions of those nearby, without intention.
The concept of nonconscious mimicry is not a new one. How often do you find yourself mimicking someone’s behavior or speech, or even beginning to like the same things that they do? Such actions relate to forming affiliation and fitting in within social situations. Here, this phenomenon will be explored from various aspects to understand how...
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...
