Abstract

Computing the optimal expansion of a signal in a redundant dictionary of waveforms is an NP-hard problem. We introduce a greedy algorithm, called a matching pursuit, which computes a suboptimal expansion. The dictionary waveforms that best match a signal's structures are chosen iteratively. An orthogonalized version of the matching pursuit is also developed. Matching pursuits are general procedures for computing adaptive signal representations. With a dictionary of Gabor functions, a matching pursuit defines an adaptive time-frequency transform. Matching pursuits are chaotic maps whose attractors define a generic noise with respect to the dictionary. We derive an algorithm that isolates the coherent structures of a signal and describe an application to pattern extraction from noisy signals.
