TL;DR
This paper tackles efficient CP decomposition for image compression by recasting CP as a nonlinear least squares problem. It proposes a Modified Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm that computes the LM direction $h_k$ and an approximate direction $ ilde{h}_k$ by solving $(J_k^T J_k + mu_k I) ilde{h}_k = - J_k^T F(y_k)$ with $y_k = x_k + h_k$, and forms $s_k = h_k + ilde{h}_k$ for acceptance via a gain ratio. The current Jacobian $J_k$ is reused to avoid recomputation, decreasing memory and time relative to the standard LM. Empirical results on RGB images (Rose, Pepper, Leopard) and random tensors show comparable reconstruction quality with substantially lower CPU time, using compression defined by $R(I+J+K)/(IJK)$. The work demonstrates a scalable approach for low-rank CP-based image compression and points to future work on sampling for massive mode dimensions and theoretical convergence guarantees.
Abstract
This paper explores a new version of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm used for Tensor Canonical Polyadic (CP) decomposition with an emphasis on image compression and reconstruction. Tensor computation, especially CP decomposition, holds significant applications in data compression and analysis. In this study, we formulate CP as a nonlinear least squares optimization problem. Then, we present an iterative Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) based algorithm for computing the CP decomposition. Ultimately, we test the algorithm on various datasets, including randomly generated tensors and RGB images. The proposed method proves to be both efficient and effective, offering a reduced computational burden when compared to the traditional Levenberg-Marquardt technique.
