Learning to Solve Linear Inverse Problems in Imaging with Neumann Networks
Recent advances have illustrated that it is often possible to learn to solve linear inverse problems in imaging using training data that can outperform more traditional regularized least squares solutions. Along these lines, we present some extensions of the Neumann network, a recently introduced end-to-end learned architecture inspired by a truncated Neumann series expansion of the solution map to a regularized least squares problem. Here we summarize the Neumann network approach, and show that it has a form compatible with the optimal reconstruction function for a given inverse problem. We also investigate an extension of the Neumann network that incorporates a more sample efficient patch-based regularization approach.
