ABSTRACT
Errors in map-making tasks using computer vision are sparse. We demonstrate this by considering the construction of digital elevation models that employ stereo matching algorithms to triangulate real-world points. This sparsity, coupled with a geometric theory of errors recently developed by the authors, allows for autonomous agents to calculate their own precision independently of ground truth. We connect these developments with recent advances in the mathematics of sparse signal reconstruction or compressed sensing. The theory presented here extends the autonomy of 3-D model reconstructions discovered in the 1990s to their errors.

Weighted Nuclear Norm Minimization and Its Applications to Low Level Vision
As a convex relaxation of the rank minimization model, the nuclear norm minimization (NNM) problem has been attracting significant research interest in recent years. The standard NNM regularizes each singular value equally, composing an easily ...

Compressive sensing via nonlocal low-rank tensor regularization
The aim of Compressing sensing (CS) is to acquire an original signal, when it is sampled at a lower rate than Nyquist rate previously. In the framework of CS, the original signal is often assumed to be sparse and correlated in some domain. Recently, ...
