LOW-RANK PHASE RETRIEVAL WITH STRUCTURED TENSOR MODELS

We study the low-rank phase retrieval problem, where the objective is to recover a sequence of signals (typically images) given the magnitude of linear measurements of those signals. Existing solutions involve recovering a matrix constructed by vectorizing and stacking each image. These solutions model this matrix to be low-rank and leverage the low-rank property to decrease the sample complexity required for accurate recovery. However, when the number of available measurements is more limited, these low-rank matrix models can often fail. We propose an algorithm called Tucker-Structured Phase Retrieval (TSPR) that models the sequence of images as a tensor rather than a matrix that we factorize using the Tucker decomposition. This factorization reduces the number of parameters that need to be estimated, allowing for a more accurate reconstruction. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on real video datasets under several different measurement models.
