A Missing Data Reconstruction Method Using an Accelerated Least-Squares Approximation with Randomized SVD

Resumen

An accelerated least-squares approach is introduced in this work by incorporating a greedy point selection method with randomized singular value decomposition (rSVD) to reduce the computational complexity of missing data reconstruction. The rSVD is used to speed up the computation of a low-dimensional basis that is required for the least-squares projection by employing randomness to generate a small matrix instead of a large matrix from high-dimensional data. A greedy point selection algorithm, based on the discrete empirical interpolation method, is then used to speed up the reconstruction process in the least-squares approximation. The accuracy and computational time reduction of the proposed method are demonstrated through three numerical experiments. The first two experiments consider standard testing images with missing pixels uniformly distributed on them, and the last numerical experiment considers a sequence of many incomplete two-dimensional miscible flow images. The proposed method is shown to accelerate the reconstruction process while maintaining roughly the same order of accuracy when compared to the standard least-squares approach.
