SMALLbox Version 1.0 beta 11th May, 2010 Version 1.0 beta of SMALLbox is the release candidate that is distributed for testing and bug fixing purposes. Please send all bugs, requests and suggestions to: ivan.damnjanovic@elec.qmul.ac.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (2010): Ivan Damnjanovic, Matthew Davies Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London SMALLbox is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License 3 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

The project team includes researchers from the following institutions: INRIA: http://www.irisa.fr/metiss/gribonval/ University of Edinburgh: http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/~mdavies4/ Queen Mary, University of London: http://www.elec.qmul.ac.uk/people/markp/ EPFL: http://people.epfl.ch/pierre.vandergheynst Technion: http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~elad/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- will download and install the following existing toolboxes related to Sparse Representations, Compressed Sensing and Dictionary Learning: - SPARCO (v.1.2) - set of sparse representation problems[5] - SparseLab (v.2.1) - set of sparse solvers [1] - Sparsify (v.0.4) - set of greedy and hard thresholding algorithms [2] - SPGL1 (v.1.7) - large-scale sparse reconstruction solver [3] - GPSR (v.6.0) - Gradient projection for sparse reconstruction [4] - KSVD-box (v.13) and OMP-box (v.10) - dictionary learning [6] - KSVDS-box (v.11) and OMPS-box (v.1) - sparse dictionary learning [7]. IMPORTANT: In order to use SparseLab please register at http://cgi.stanford.edu/group/sparselab/cgi-bin/register.pl IMPORTANT: To successfully install all toolboxes you will need to have MEX setup to compile C files. If this is not already setup, run "mex -setup" or type "help mex" in the MATLAB command prompt. IMPORTANT: Because the toolboxes are downloaded automatically, you must have an internet connection to successfully install SMALLbox. IMPORTANT: If you are running Matlab on MAC OSX or Linux, you must start Matlab with the jvm enabled. Not doing so, will prevent you being able to unzip the downloaded toolboxes. To install the toolbox run the command "SMALLboxsetup" from the MATLAB command prompt. Once installed, there are two optional demo functions that can be run: Example test of solvers from different toolboxes on Sparco compressed sensing problems and Example test of dictionary learning techniques on image denoising problems Further examples can be found in {SMALLbox root}/examples directory --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on the SMALL Project, please visit the following website: http://small-project.eu Contacts: ivan.damnjanovic@elec.qmul.ac.uk matthew.davies@elec.qmul.ac.uk This code is in experimental stage; any comments or bug reports are very welcome. More information about using SMALLbox will be includied in release version documenation file. References: 1. Donoho, D., Stodden, V., Tsaig, Y.: Sparselab. 2007, http://sparselab.stanford.edu/ 2.
