物理与算法：信息技术进步的双引擎
Physics and Algorithms Coupled to Enhance Technology
演讲内容简介
数字化革新从方方面面影响着我们的生活，它基于从周围环境感知的物理信息通过数字化的比特流进行传输和处理。然而，在这一过程中难免存在信息的丢失。一方面，物理环境的干扰会引入噪声，另一方面，数字传输与处理中的量化会导致信息失真。因此，人们不可能在时间、空间和频率上都得到无穷精度的信号。在本讲座中，我们将讨论如何融合物理感知环境、采样压缩算法设计以减少上述信息损失。我们将从端到端的角度认识信息感知和处理这一过程，利用物理原理去设计新的编码算法以传输更多的数据。在这一过程中，我们将提供有效的信息压缩和编解码算法，将为数字化系统中使用更高的速率和分辨率创造可能。同时还将展示如何利用这些方法解决超声和光学成像、雷达系统、无线通信等一系列问题，以及我们在这些领域的原型系统，如超分辨率超声成像系统、次奈奎斯特采样雷达等。
We live in a digital world where data processing and storage is performed using computers. The digital revolution affects all aspects of our life from communications through radar, and medical imaging systems. This revolution is based on sensing the physical signals around us, and representing the acquired signals by digital bits that can be processed by a computer. However, clearly information is lost in this process: digitization rates are limited by the mathematical bounds of Nyquist and Shannon, and acquisition devices are limited by physical bounds such as the diffraction limit. Therefore, we cannot obtain infinite precision in time, space and frequency. In this talk we consider how the interplay between science, physics and algorithms can pave the way to enhanced technology that is not limited by the bounds above. We suggest treating sensing and processing in an end-to-end fashion, and exploiting physical principles to allow interesting new ways to transmit data in a coded fashion, which cannot be viewed, processed or heard directly. Instead the information is embedded indirectly in ways that are more efficient on the one hand, but can be properly decoded by appropriate mathematical algorithms on the other. This coupling of physics and algorithms paves the way to devices that can transmit, sample and process at rates and resolutions exceeding known bounds. We will illustrate applications of these ideas to a variety of problems in ultrasound and optical imaging, radar systems, communication channels and more, and show several demos of real-time prototypes overcoming standard bounds including a wireless ultrasound probe, super resolution ultrasound, and sub-Nyquist automotive radar.
