Learning stepsize selection for the geodesic-based neural blind deconvolution algorithm

The present paper illustrates a geodesic-based learning algorithm over a curved parameter space for blind deconvolution application. The chosen deconvolving structure appears as a single neuron model whose learning rule arises from criterion-function minimization over a smooth manifold. In particular, we propose here a learning stepsize selection theory for the algorithm at hand. We consider the blind deconvolution performances of the algorithm as well as its computational burden. Also, a numerical comparison with seven blind-deconvolution algorithms known from the scientific literature is illustrated and discussed. Results of numerical tests conducted on a noiseless as well as a noisy system will confirm that the algorithm discussed in the present paper performs in a satisfactory way. Also, the performances of the presented algorithm will be compared with those exhibited by other blind deconvolution algorithms known from the literature. © 2008 IEEE.
