GWRA: grey wolf based reconstruction algorithm for compressive sensing signals

Abstract

The recent advances in compressive sensing (CS) based solutions make it a promising technique for signal acquisition, image processing and other types of data compression needs. In CS, the most challenging problem is to design an accurate and efficient algorithm for reconstructing the original data. Greedy-based reconstruction algorithms proved themselves as a good solution to this problem because of their fast implementation and low complex computations. In this paper, we propose a new optimization algorithm called grey wolf reconstruction algorithm (GWRA). GWRA is inspired from the benefits of integrating both the reversible greedy algorithm and the grey wolf optimizer algorithm. The effectiveness of GWRA technique is demonstrated and validated through rigorous simulations. The simulation results show that GWRA significantly exceeds the greedy-based reconstruction algorithms such as sum product, orthogonal matching pursuit, compressive sampling matching pursuit and filtered back projection and swarm based techniques such as BA and PSO in terms of reducing the reconstruction error, the mean absolute percentage error and the average normalized mean squared error.
