A Regularized Conditional GAN for Posterior Sampling in Inverse Problems
share
In inverse problems, one seeks to reconstruct an image from incomplete and/or degraded measurements. Such problems arise in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography, deblurring, superresolution, inpainting, and other applications. It is often the case that many image hypotheses are consistent with both the measurements and prior information, and so the goal is not to recover a single “best” hypothesis but rather to explore the space of probable hypotheses, i.e., to sample from the posterior distribution. In this work, we propose a regularized conditional Wasserstein GAN that can generate dozens of high-quality posterior samples per second. Using quantitative evaluation metrics like conditional Fréchet inception distance, we demonstrate that our method produces state-of-the-art posterior samples in both multicoil MRI and inpainting applications.
